FST Plate Number Meaning: Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos
The FST plate number is registered in Amuwo-Odofin 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.
Amuwo-Odofin issues FST. The 2006 census recorded about 1,500,000 residents in the district, a figure that puts it among the heavyweights of the Lagos directory. The three letters at the head of a Nigerian plate are the registration district; the digits and the final letters identify the individual vehicle within it, and only the first part can be looked up.

What the FST Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so FST places the paperwork in Amuwo-Odofin. 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 FST 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 FST plate number
What does the FST plate number mean?
FST is the registration code of Amuwo-Odofin 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 FST plate number from?
Lagos. The code identifies the local government area — Amuwo-Odofin — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
Can I find out who owns a FST 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 FST 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 FST 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.
