Plate code

FGE Plate Number Meaning: Fagge, Kano

The FGE plate number is registered in Fagge 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.

Nigerian number plate with the FGE code — Fagge, Kano
A plate issued in Fagge carries the FGE code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

FGE is the Fagge code. About 198,828 people lived within its 21 km² at the 2006 census, roughly 9,468 for every square kilometre. Codes are allocated by district and are not recycled between them, which is what makes a three-letter lookup dependable.

What the FGE Code Does and Does Not Tell You

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

What does the FGE plate number mean?

FGE is the registration code of Fagge Local Government Area in Kano. 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 FGE plate number from?

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

Have a whole FGE 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.
