The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced a further extension of the grace period for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows. The new enforcement date has been fixed for October 2, 2025.
According to a statement issued on Monday, August 11, 2025, by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the decision was approved by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM. The extension follows a surge in applications through the official portal, indicating increased public compliance.
The Force explained that the extra time would enable thorough scrutiny of applications to ensure permits are granted only to qualified individuals, in line with national security considerations. It will also allow for the continued fine-tuning of both digital and physical verification processes to safeguard the system against abuse.
Citizens are reminded that the only authorized platform for permit applications is [https://possap.gov.ng](https://possap.gov.ng) and are urged to disregard unofficial channels. The NPF also encouraged the public to report any cases of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the appropriate authorities, including via the hotline 09169967000.
While appreciating the cooperation of Nigerians, the Police reaffirmed their commitment to striking a balance between public convenience and effective security measures.
