What RUM Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 RUM 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 RUM Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so RUM places the paperwork in Obio Akpor. 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 RUM plate away from Rivers 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.
