DKW Plate Number Meaning: Dikwa, Borno
The DKW plate number is registered in Dikwa Local Government Area, Borno. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Dikwa registers as DKW, from its headquarters at Dikwa. About 105,909 people lived across its 1,774 km² in 2006, roughly 60 for every square kilometre. A plate keeps these letters through every change of hands and loses them only on re-registration in another district.

What the DKW Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DKW places the paperwork in Dikwa. 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 DKW plate away from Borno 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 DKW plate number
What does the DKW plate number mean?
DKW is the registration code of Dikwa Local Government Area in Borno. 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 DKW plate number from?
Borno. The code identifies the local government area — Dikwa — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
