FKJ Plate Number Meaning: Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos

The FKJ plate number is registered in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area, Lagos. 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 FKJ code — Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos
A plate issued in Ifako-Ijaiye carries the FKJ code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

FKJ marks Ifako-Ijaiye. Some 633,200 people (2022) live on 43 km² there, close to 15,000 for every square kilometre. Lagos runs twenty such codes, one per local government area, and a plate carries the one it was issued under for as long as the registration stands. Checking the letters tells you where a car came onto the register, which is where its paperwork begins.

What the FKJ Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so FKJ places the paperwork in Ifako-Ijaiye. 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 FKJ plate away from Lagos 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 FKJ plate number

What does the FKJ plate number mean?

FKJ is the registration code of Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area in Lagos. 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 FKJ plate number from?

Lagos. The code identifies the local government area — Ifako-Ijaiye — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.

Can I find out who owns a FKJ plate number?

No, and not from any public source. Registration holders are personal data held by the FRSC and the state motor vehicle administration agency, released to the police, the courts and insurers through their own channels. What is public is the code, which is what this page publishes.

Is a FKJ plate valid outside Lagos?

Yes. A Nigerian plate is valid nationwide, and the code simply records where the registration was issued. Re-registration is what changes the code, and it is not required merely because the vehicle has moved.

How do I check a full FKJ plate number?

Use the plate lookup on our verify page: type the whole plate, and it reads the three-letter prefix and returns the local government area and the state. To find out what the vehicle has been through, check it by VIN instead.
