AME Plate Number Meaning: Ogbomoso-South, Oyo
The AME plate number is registered in Ogbomoso-South Local Government Area, Oyo. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Ogbomosho South, administered from Ogbomosho, uses AME. The 2006 census put 225,815 residents on 88 km², near 2,566 for every square kilometre. The letters are the geographic part of the plate; the digits and closing pair belong to the individual car.

What AME Plates Look Like
Counted from the 14 AME plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

What the AME Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so AME places the paperwork in Ogbomoso-South. 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 AME plate away from Oyo 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.
