KNN Plate Number Meaning: Ikenne, Ogun

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

KNN is the Ikenne code. About 118,735 people were recorded there in 2006 within 144 km², near 825 to the square kilometre. A plate lookup returns the district and the state behind three letters, and never the name of an owner.

What the KNN Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KNN places the paperwork in Ikenne. 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 KNN plate away from Ogun 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 KNN plate number

What does the KNN plate number mean?

KNN is the registration code of Ikenne Local Government Area in Ogun. 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 KNN plate number from?

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

Have a whole KNN 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.
