Frsc nigeria new plate number

You're referring to the new plate number format introduced by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria.

As of 2021, the FRSC introduced a new plate number format for vehicles in Nigeria. The new format is designed to make it easier to identify vehicles and reduce the risk of plate number cloning.

Here are the key features of the new plate number format:

  1. New Plate Number Format: The new plate number format consists of a combination of letters and numbers, with a unique code for each state.
  2. State Code: Each state in Nigeria has been assigned a unique code, which is the first two letters of the state's name. For example, Lagos State's code is "LA", while Abuja's code is "AB".
  3. Serial Number: The next two digits are a serial number, which is unique to each vehicle.
  4. Year of Registration: The next two digits represent the year of registration.
  5. Check Digit: The final digit is a check digit, which is calculated using a mathematical formula to ensure the plate number is valid.

Here's an example of a new plate number format: "LA 1234 AB 2022"

The FRSC has also introduced a new plate number design, which features a unique QR code that can be scanned to verify the authenticity of the plate number.

It's worth noting that the new plate number format is mandatory for all new vehicle registrations in Nigeria, and vehicle owners are required to replace their old plate numbers with the new ones within a specified timeframe.
