Niger State Plate Number Codes
All 25 Niger plate number codes, with the local government area behind each one. Find yours in the table below, or jump straight to the code you came for.
The letters on a Nigerian plate are a local government area, not a state, and they are rarely the initials of the place: in Niger, AGA stands for Agaie. Every code below is a row you can link to directly.

What Niger Plate Number Codes Tell You
A code on the plate is the place of registration, not the place the vehicle lives now. Cars are sold across state lines every day and keep their plates until they are re-registered, so a code from Niger on a car being sold elsewhere is a question to put to the seller rather than a problem in itself.
What the code cannot tell you is who holds the registration. That record sits with the Federal Road Safety Corps and the state motor vehicle administration agency, and it is released to the police, to the courts and to insurers — not to the public, and not to us.
What we can read is the part of the history that happens before a Nigerian plate is ever fitted. Most used cars here arrive from auctions in the United States, and that record — lot photographs, damage, mileage at sale — is tied to the VIN, not to the plate.
Questions about Niger plate codes
How many plate number codes does Niger have?
25, one for each local government area in our directory. They are listed in full in the table on this page.
What does the AGA plate number code mean?
AGA is the code of Agaie Local Government Area in Niger. A vehicle carrying it was registered there, which is not the same as saying it has stayed there since.
Does the Niger code on a plate mean the car is in Niger now?
No. The code records where the registration was issued. A car keeps its plate when it changes hands and only gets a new one when it is re-registered, so the plate tells you where the paperwork started, not where the car sleeps.
Can I find out who owns a plate number registered in Niger?
Not from a public source, and not from us. Registration holders are personal data held by the FRSC and the state agency; the police, the courts and insurers can reach it through their own channels, a private individual cannot. What is public is the code, and that is what this page publishes.
How do I check a full plate number, not just the code?
Use the plate lookup on our verify page: it takes the whole plate, reads the three-letter prefix and returns the local government area and the state. For the history of the vehicle itself, check it by VIN instead.
Check a whole plate, or check the car
The code tells you where a plate from Niger was issued. To find out what the vehicle has been through — auction records, damage, mileage and photographs — look it up by VIN.
