AYE Plate Number Meaning: Yewa North, Ogun

The AYE plate number is registered in Yewa North Local Government Area, Ogun. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.

Nigerian number plate with the AYE code — Yewa North, Ogun
A plate issued in Yewa North carries the AYE code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

Yewa North — listed in older sources as Egbado North — uses AYE, from its seat at Aiyetoro. About 181,826 people were recorded there in 2006 across 2,087 km², about 87 for every square kilometre. Where a district has been renamed, the code is the part that stays put.

What the AYE Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so AYE places the paperwork in Yewa North. 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 AYE plate away from Ogun 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 AYE plate number

What does the AYE plate number mean?

AYE is the registration code of Yewa North Local Government Area in Ogun. 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 AYE plate number from?

Ogun. The code identifies the local government area — Yewa North — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.

Have a whole AYE plate, not just the code?

The lookup takes the full plate and returns the local government area behind it. For the history of the vehicle — auction records, damage, mileage and photographs — check it by VIN.
