What the first 3 Letters and Numbers on Your Lagos State Plate Number Mean

When you look at your vehicle plate number, you’ll notice a mix of letters and numbers. But have you ever wondered what they really mean?

Let’s break it down:

• The first three letters (prefix) on your plate identify the Local Government Area (LGA) in the state where the plate was issued.

• The numbers in the middle are unique identifiers for your vehicle.

• The last two letters (suffix) are randomly assigned to ensure no two vehicles carry the same plate number.

💡 Cool fact: The letters don’t necessarily mean that your car was registered in that LGA—they just serve as a code.
