Your responsibilities as the registered person

When you acquire a vehicle, let us know without delay. Once you have told us, you become the registered person. This is not the same as being the legal owner.

The registered person is simply the person who is entitled to possession of the vehicle. For example, a person who is leasing a vehicle is the registered person of that vehicle but the person they have leased the vehicle from continues to be the legal owner.

As the registered person you're responsible for your vehicle and for meeting the requirements that allow you to drive legally on the road. This includes keeping it in safe condition, and paying the licensing fees and any traffic or parking infringements.

Who can be a registered person

A private individual aged 15 or over.

A limited liability company.

A government department, local authority or official board.

An incorporated society or club.

What you’re responsible for

As the registered person you must:

tell us if you change your address

license your vehicle by the due date – or apply for an exemption

meet safety inspection requirements – warrant of fitness, certificate of fitness

pay road user charges (RUC)

pay any 'owner liability' offence, such as speeding and parking fines

tell us without delay of the name and address of the person who has acquired the vehicle

give back your number plates and cancel your vehicle's registration if you take it off the road permanently

hold a transport service licence if your vehicle requires one (find out more about transport service licences).

Keeping your address up-to-date

It's not only a requirement but important you keep your address details up to date so correspondence such as motor vehicle licensing reminders and driver licence notices reach you. You can update your address details online or contact us. When you change your address for your vehicle your driver licence address is updated as well.

FRSC issues new guidelines on Driver’s License
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Wednesday warned against obtaining the driver’s license by proxy and advised prospective applicants to obtain the document through due process.
Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, gave the warning at a one-day workshop organized for the Corps Heads of Driving License Centers.
“There will be no more collection of driver’s license by proxy; prospective applicants will have to come by themselves and be captured to avoid obtaining fake license.
“Also, fresh applicants must obtain permit from an approved driving school and undergo all necessary processes before they will be issued the document,’’ Oyeyemi said.
He said the issue of integrity of driver’s license was raised when the corps visited the National Assembly recently, assuring that the corps was poised to tackle the issue of fake license.
The corps marshal restated that the document could be obtained with only N6, 350 and advised applicants to report any personnel of the corps who demanded more than the amount.
According to Oyeyemi, the workshop is to review the first quarter operations of the corps and address the issue of driver’s license.
He said the corps, for the first time, recorded lowest cases of road traffic accidents during the Easter.
He attributed this to adequate deployment of personnel and equipment during the period.
Oyeyemi advised motorists and other road users to continue to collaborate with the commission in efforts to reduce road crashes.
