Lagos State License Plate Number Codes And What They Mean

Amongst the 36 states in Nigeria, none is as densely populated with cars as Lagos State. Ever wondered what the codes on license plate numbers stand for?

The unique plate combination of all non-customised plate numbers is in the format ABC-123DE. The first three letters indicate the Local Government Area in which the vehicle was registered, which are followed by three digits and two letters.

For Example KSF-622AE for Kosofe LG, GGE-123ZY for Agege LG, ABA for Aba south, and AAH for Oguocha Anambra.

The following first three letters you see on any Lagos plate number indicate the Local Government area in which the vehicle was registered.

Once upon a time, all road traffic-related issues fell on the shoulders of the Federal Road Safety Corp. In addition, the Federal Government once held the monopoly of issuing vehicle licenses, including Lagos state vehicle registration.

However, the demand for vehicle registration and vehicle license issuance soon became hectic, especially in Lagos. This necessitated the establishment of the Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA) in 2007.

Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA)

Lagos State Motor Vehicle Administration Agency has helped reduce the congestion and difficulty involved in getting vehicles registered and issued vehicle license plates. MVAA also has a record of issuing at least 20 thousand plate numbers monthly.
