It replaces the earlier names "MarkProof" and "Asset-Proof Nigeria", which should no longer be used. Probata is in early design, preparing a pre-pilot. It covers asset marking, ownership registration, photographic records, stolen-flagging and recovery evidence packs for high-value movable assets such as solar batteries, inverters, generators and cables.
