The Lagos State Government has launched PayVIS, a number plate detection platform that captures vehicle offenders when they violate traffic laws and then bills them.
PayVIS is an initiative of the Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service.
According to the information contained in the website of PayVis,
- “PlateDetect is a Traffic analytics and access control application developed for Lagos State’s Vehicle Inspection Service to track, monitor, and book traffic offenders.”
- “LASG VIS’s PlateDetect ensures that all vehicle documentation (vehicle license, Insurance policy, Roadworthiness certificate, Driver’s license, Hackney permit (Commercial vehicles only), Lagos State Drivers’ Institute card (Commercial vehicles) can be verified and tickets raised for violators.”
How it works
- From an advert seen by Nairametrics, traffic cameras located beside traffic lights will capture traffic offenders without the presence of traffic officials.
- The camera takes a photo shot of the vehicle’s plate number, and runs a scan of the vehicle’s records in the state’s database.
- To detect whether you may have had a prior traffic offense, vehicle owners are to visit their website, type in their plate number and then click on search.
- Once this is done, a bill is generated for any outstanding offense.
On its Facebook page, the Vehicle Inspection Service said that it will be showing an understanding of the current economic situation to exhibit fairness and good faith by offering a 50% rebate on existing unpaid fines from January 1 to 31st January 2021.
Offenders are advised to take opportunity of the period to pay up, as 100% penalty would be payable after the deadline.

I received a message from vis when I don’t even stay in Lagos state, but my car was registered in Lagos state 2018 and I’ve not been in Lagos with my car the papers was just registered and how come I’m offending traffic when I don’t even base there please you people should respect yourself and stop sending me such messages.
Don’t mind them, it is the same message I got for a vehicle that is used in the East.
I made payment on 19th of October 2022, but the bill has not been cleared, and the transaction was successful. Still I can’t print out my road worthiness certificate.
Don’t you think that it will be necessary to post any Moto booked with the plate number so that the owner can see the car.

My car was registered in Lagos in December 2020 when it entered Nigeria and I don’t base in Lagos. I’ve not been to Lagos for the past two years. My car is in far away Ebonyi State and PayVIS is sending message for traffic offence in Lagos and am being billed 40K in there site.
Please if the system is not working you guys should scrap it off and stop harassing citizens.
Same experience. My car was registered in Lagos since 2019 and since then I have not been to Lagos with the car, yet I was sent a traffic offense on the 6th day of August 2023 with a fine of #20,000.00. Surprisingly, I was in my compound in Port Harcourt the entire day where the car was parked.
I’ll give the benefit that this could be as a result of system glitch, else it should be scrapped.
This is becoming too much of them, they need to find something to do!
i’m not even based in lagos. i have a road worthiness certificate for edo state. yet i was sent a text message that im driving without a valid road worthiness certificate charging me 20k. these people are really not normal. ok, i disputed it…up till now, this hasn’t been resolved.

I live in Lagos but the said vehicle is packed in doors yet they keep sending me bill for driving with expired documents. I think VIS people just spool details of vehicles whose documents have expired and just start billing them, even when the vehicle is not on the road. isn’t this wickedness?
