DGE Plate Number Meaning: Ikpoba-Okha, Edo
The DGE plate number is registered in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area, Edo. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
DGE is the Ikpoba-Okha code. About 301,447 people were recorded there in 2006 across 862 km², some 350 to the square kilometre. Three letters, digits, then two letters — a Nigerian plate is read in that order, and only the first group can be traced to a place.

What DGE Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 DGE 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 DGE Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DGE places the paperwork in Ikpoba-Okha. 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 DGE plate away from Edo 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.
