TDE Plate Number Meaning: Atisbo, Oyo
The TDE plate number is registered in Atisbo Local Government Area, Oyo. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Atisbo — spelled Atigbo in some lists — uses TDE. About 110,792 people were counted there in 2006 across 2,997 km², some 37 for every square kilometre. Where sources disagree on the name, the three letters stay the stable identifier.

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