DGB Plate Number Meaning: Odogbolu, Ogun

The DGB plate number is registered in Odogbolu 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 DGB code — Odogbolu, Ogun
A plate issued in Odogbolu carries the DGB code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

Odogbolu registers as DGB, from its headquarters at Odogbolu town. Around 127,123 people lived across its 541 km² in 2006, some 235 to the square kilometre. The code is replaced only by re-registration in another district. A sale changes the owner, never the district on the plate.

What the DGB Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DGB places the paperwork in Odogbolu. 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 DGB 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 DGB plate number

What does the DGB plate number mean?

DGB is the registration code of Odogbolu 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 DGB plate number from?

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

Have a whole DGB 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.
