KTN Plate Number Meaning: Katsina, Katsina
The KTN plate number is registered in Katsina Local Government Area, Katsina. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Katsina registers vehicles as KTN. The 2006 census counted 318,459 residents within 142 km², some 2,243 for every square kilometre. Its plates appear all over the country, because a code follows the vehicle rather than the address of whoever bought it.

What the KTN Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KTN places the paperwork in Katsina. 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 KTN plate away from Katsina 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.
