SFN Plate Number Meaning: Safana, Katsina
The SFN plate number is registered in Safana Local Government Area, Katsina. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
SFN belongs to Safana, administered from Safana town. Around 183,779 people were recorded there in 2006 across 1,418 km², near 130 for every square kilometre. A plate lookup resolves the letters to a district and its state, and stops there.

No holder name appears here, and none ever will: the Federal Road Safety Corps does not release registration holders to the public, so neither do we.

What the SFN Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so SFN places the paperwork in Safana. 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 SFN plate away from Katsina 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 SFN plate number
What does the SFN plate number mean?
SFN is the registration code of Safana Local Government Area in Katsina. 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.

Katsina. The code identifies the local government area — Safana — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
