DKD Plate Number Meaning: Dawakin-Kudu, Kano
The DKD plate number is registered in Dawakin-Kudu 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.
DKD belongs to Dawakin Kudu, administered from Dawakin Kudu town. Around 225,389 people were counted there in 2006 over 384 km², near 587 for every square kilometre. Two cars papered here on the same day carry these letters and differ in the serial that follows.

What the DKD Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DKD places the paperwork in Dawakin-Kudu. 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 DKD 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 DKD plate number
