Updated: Police begin issuance of tinted glass permit: See how to apply

Nigeria Police Force has resumed the issuance of tinted glass permits across the country.

This was based on the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun,

The move, according to the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, is in response to rising concerns and complaints from the public over the harassment of vehicle owners by law enforcement agents for using factory-fitted tinted windows.

Applicants can now process their permits online, with identity verification integrated through the National Identification Number (NIN) and Tax Identification Number (TIN), alongside biometric capture and background checks.

The system also features QR-coded digital permits, with a streamlined processing timeline of 72 hours.

To ensure a smooth transition, a 30-day grace period has been approved, effective from May 1st, 2025.
