KEH Plate Number Meaning: Kajola, Oyo

The KEH plate number is registered in Kajola Local Government Area, Oyo. 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 KEH code — Kajola, Oyo
A plate issued in Kajola carries the KEH code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

KEH is issued in Kajola, run from Oke-Iho. Around 200,997 residents were recorded there in 2006 over 609 km², some 330 to the square kilometre. Reading a Nigerian plate begins with the three letters, and they place the registration rather than the car.

What the KEH Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KEH places the paperwork in Kajola. 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 KEH plate away from Oyo 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 KEH plate number

What does the KEH plate number mean?

KEH is the registration code of Kajola Local Government Area in Oyo. 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 KEH plate number from?

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

Have a whole KEH 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.
