BCH Plate Number Meaning: Bichi, Kano
The BCH plate number is registered in Bichi Local Government Area, Kano. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Bichi, administered from Bichi town, uses BCH. The 2006 census put 277,099 residents on 612 km², near 453 for every square kilometre. The letters are the geographic part of the plate; the digits and closing pair belong to the individual car.

What the BCH Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so BCH places the paperwork in Bichi. 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 BCH plate away from Kano 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 BCH plate number
