PMD Plate Number Meaning: Ife North, Osun

The PMD plate number is registered in Ife North Local Government Area, Osun. 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 PMD code — Ife North, Osun
A plate issued in Ife North carries the PMD code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

PMD marks Ife North, run from Ipetu-Modu. The 2006 census counted 153,694 residents over 889 km², some 173 for every square kilometre. The three letters name a local government area and say nothing about the make, age or condition of the vehicle.

What the PMD Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so PMD places the paperwork in Ife North. 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 PMD plate away from Osun 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 PMD plate number

What does the PMD plate number mean?

PMD is the registration code of Ife North Local Government Area in Osun. 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 PMD plate number from?

Osun. The code identifies the local government area — Ife North — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.

Have a whole PMD 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.
