The Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency, LASAA, has rolled out a fully redesigned 2026 Mobile Advertisement Permit, and it signals a major shift toward a smarter, tech enabled regulatory process for branded vehicles operating across the state.

The agency’s upgrade introduces new digital features that simplify verification and strengthen compliance.

QR Code Strengthens Verification Process

According to the agency, the new permit now carries an embedded QR code, enabling law enforcement officers, advertisers, and business owners to verify authenticity within seconds.

Furthermore, the digital tag can be scanned through the LASAA Mobile App, which is available on Android and iOS devices.

Akiolu Highlights Drive Toward Modernization

LASAA’s Managing Director, Prince Fatiu Akiolu, said the launch represents the agency’s continued push to modernize outdoor advertising regulation in Lagos.

He emphasized that the streamlined system would make compliance easier for businesses while improving order and monitoring across the city’s busy highways.

“We want branded vehicle owners to process their permits without stress,” Akiolu said. “This system is faster, more transparent, and ensures smoother operations on Lagos roads.”

Businesses Urged to Prepare Ahead of Rollout

The Head of LASAA’s Mobile Advert Department, Olubukonla Ayodele, urged businesses to begin preparations ahead of the official rollout in January 2026.

She explained that early registration would help organisations avoid enforcement actions, penalties, and disruptions when the new regulatory cycle begins.

“Permit processing for 2026 starts in January, and we encourage operators to secure their QR enabled permits as soon as possible,” she said.

Online Application Enhances Convenience

Ayodele added that the entire application process can now be completed online through the agency’s website, where applicants can create an account, enter their personal and vehicle details, follow on screen prompts, complete payment digitally, and immediately receive their scannable QR code.
