KSH Plate Number Meaning: Irepo, Oyo

The KSH plate number is registered in Irepo 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 KSH code — Irepo, Oyo
A plate issued in Irepo carries the KSH code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

Irepo, seat at Kishi, registers vehicles as KSH. About 173,300 residents (2022) live across 984 km², roughly 176 for every square kilometre. The code is inherited with the papers when the vehicle changes hands, and lost only on re-registration. That is the whole of what three letters can honestly tell you.

What the KSH Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KSH places the paperwork in Irepo. 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 KSH 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 KSH plate number

What does the KSH plate number mean?

KSH is the registration code of Irepo 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 KSH plate number from?

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

Have a whole KSH 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.
