What the BMJ Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so BMJ places the paperwork in Birnin Magaji/Kiyawa. 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 BMJ plate away from Zamfara 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.
