AAW Plate Number Meaning: Egbedore, Osun
The AAW plate number is registered in Egbedore Local Government Area, Osun. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
AAW is issued in Egbedore, the district administered from Awo. The 2006 census counted 74,435 residents across 270 km², about 276 people to the square kilometre. Nigerian plates open with three letters for the local government area of registration, and this district holds these for as long as the plates last.

What the AAW Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so AAW places the paperwork in Egbedore. It does not follow the car afterwards: a vehicle sold across state lines keeps its plate until it is re-registered, which is why a AAW plate away from Osun is a question for the seller rather than a finding in itself.
The letters also say nothing about the holder, the model or the history of the vehicle. Colours and special series are a separate system, explained on the code hub; what the car itself has been through — auction lots, damage, mileage at sale — is recorded against its VIN and travels with the car even when the plate changes.
Questions about the AAW plate number
What does the AAW plate number mean?
AAW is the registration code of Egbedore Local Government Area in Osun. A vehicle wearing it was registered there; the three digits after the letters are its serial inside that LGA, and the last two letters are the series.
Which state is a AAW plate number from?
Osun. The code identifies the local government area — Egbedore — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
