The Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA) has announced that the Lagos State Government will flag off its newly introduced online vehicle licence renewal with effect from August 1, 2021. The state government said that the newly introduced vehicle registration portal via https: portal.autoreg.ng is to allow individuals renew their vehicle licences from the comfort of their homes
This disclosure was made by the General Manager of MVAA, Mrs Lape Kilanko, during a stakeholders’ meeting at Alausa, Ikeja, noting that the concept is part of the agency’s efforts at enhancing service delivery in the area of vehicle documentation in Lagos State.
Kilanko explained that the hitherto common practice of visiting MVAA stations before renewal of vehicle licence could be done will soon be a thing of the past, stressing that with the laudable innovation, the vehicle information is secured as only the details supplied by the vehicle owner will be updated on the page.
She said, “The platform is easy to use for vehicle owners as all they need to do is Sign up, Enter their vehicle licence number, login, Initiate Renewal and Make Payment. They will receive SMS/email notifications while awaiting the delivery of the customised Vehicle Licence via approved logistics/delivery courier.
In the alternative, they can approach the nearest MVAA station to print the customised Vehicle Licence by showing their SMS/Email notifications.’’ The General Manager added that the process is a seamless one that requires little effort and implored Lagosians, especially drivers and vehicle owners, not to wait until they are apprehended by law enforcement agents before renewing their documents.
