NAS Plate Number Meaning: Magama, Niger
The NAS plate number is registered in Magama Local Government Area, Niger. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Magama, seat at Nasko, registers vehicles as NAS. The 2006 census put 181,653 residents on 4,107 km², about 44 for every square kilometre. Three letters, digits, then two letters: only the first group of a Nigerian plate is a place.

What the NAS Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so NAS places the paperwork in Magama. 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 NAS plate away from Niger 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 NAS plate number
What does the NAS plate number mean?
NAS is the registration code of Magama Local Government Area in Niger. 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 NAS plate number from?
Niger. The code identifies the local government area — Magama — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
