KRD Plate Number Meaning: Ikorodu, Lagos
The KRD plate number is registered in Ikorodu 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.
Ikorodu, seat of its own council, registers vehicles as KRD. The 2006 census put 536,619 people across 345 km², near 1,555 to the square kilometre, a mix of town and open ground unusual for the state. A code stays with a vehicle through resale, so KRD on a plate means the registration was opened in Ikorodu, whatever the car's address is now.

No holder name appears here, and none ever will: the Federal Road Safety Corps does not release registration holders to the public, so neither do we.
What KRD Plates Look Like
Counted from the 28 KRD plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

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

Have a whole KRD 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.
