IVAS - Integrated Vehicle Administration System
Register, renew and verify any vehicle in Anambra online, from chassis number to plate number to e-card.
IVAS is the State's online system for vehicle administration. Vehicle owners open an account, apply to register a new vehicle or renew an existing one, pay against an invoice, book a roadworthiness inspection and download their documents. A public verification page and QR-code checks let anyone, including enforcement officers, confirm that an invoice, plate number or roadworthiness certificate is genuine.

In practice
What it looks like
A trader who has just cleared an imported car registers it online, uploads the bill of entry and sales invoice, pays the invoice and books an inspection date.
A car owner whose licence has expired types in the plate number, selects the renewals due and pays without queuing at a licensing office.
A buyer of a used car checks the plate number on the public verification page to see whether the papers are paid for before handing over money.
An enforcement officer scans the QR code on a roadworthiness certificate at a checkpoint to confirm it is real.
