KLD Plate Number Meaning: Karim-Lamido, Taraba

The KLD plate number is registered in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area, Taraba. 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 KLD code — Karim-Lamido, Taraba
A plate issued in Karim-Lamido carries the KLD code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

KLD marks Karim Lamido, run from Karim-Lamido. The 2006 census put 195,844 residents on 6,620 km², near 30 for every square kilometre. The code is replaced only by re-registration in another district; a sale leaves it exactly as it was issued.

What the KLD Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KLD places the paperwork in Karim-Lamido. 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 KLD plate away from Taraba 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.
