KTU Plate Number Meaning: Alimosho, Lagos
The KTU plate number is registered in Alimosho 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.
Alimosho registers under KTU. With about 1,288,714 people at the 2006 census, it is a district the size of a city in its own right. Plate letters are not a rank or a series: they simply record the local government area where the vehicle entered the register, which is what our three-letter lookup returns for KTU.

Counted from the 33 KTU 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 KTU Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KTU places the paperwork in Alimosho. 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 KTU 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 KTU plate number
What does the KTU plate number mean?
KTU is the registration code of Alimosho 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 KTU plate number from?
Lagos. The code identifies the local government area — Alimosho — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
Can I find out who owns a KTU 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 KTU 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 KTU 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.
