The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has resumed the issuance of Tinted Glass Permits (TGP) across the country through a “secure and user-friendly” online portal.
Police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi announced this in a statement on Wednesday, stating that the permit can be accessed at possap.gov.ng.
He explained that this reactivation is in response to widespread public complaints about the harassment of drivers with tinted windows.

According to Adejobi, this initiative aims to establish a clear, transparent, and accountable process for legalizing factory-installed tinted glass on vehicles.
“With modern automobiles increasingly manufactured with tinted windows it has become essential to provide a standardised system that accommodates legitimate use while ensuring public safety,” the statement read.
“Vehicles have often been exploited for criminal purposes, including kidnapping, armed robbery, ‘one-chance’ scams, and other forms of banditry. Their use hampers police visibility and impedes effective law enforcement, thereby contributing to public insecurity.”
Adejobi emphasized that the reactivated permit system is a strategic move to identify legitimate users, such as those with medical needs or security personnel, while preventing its misuse for criminal activities. He believes this will enhance police investigations and strengthen national security efforts.
The police spokesperson noted that applicants can now apply for their permits online, with identity verification integrated through the National Identification Number (NIN) and Tax Identification Number (TIN), along with biometric data capture and background checks.
