How to verify traffic tickets, check vehicle status in Lagos

Lagos State Ministry of Transportation has advised motorists to verify the authenticity of traffic tickets and check their vehicle status using official government platforms to combat fraudulent messages and scams. Motorists can use the Lagos State Traffic Management Solutions (TMS) portal (tms.lagosstate.gov.ng) to search for traffic violations using their vehicle number and chassis number or the Violation Number displayed on a ticket.

Additionally, they can use the official PAYVIS platform (payvis.ng) to check vehicle-related bills and other relevant information by entering their vehicle plate number or bill number. The ministry warns against clicking on unverified links, disclosing personal or banking information, or making payments through third-party platforms, as these could be attempts by scammers to lure motorists.
