New nigeria plate number
You're referring to the new vehicle registration plate numbers in Nigeria!
As of 2021, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria introduced a new vehicle registration plate number system, which replaced the old system. Here are some key features of the new plate numbers:
- New Plate Number Format: The new plate numbers have a unique format, which includes a combination of letters and numbers. The format is as follows: " Lagos AA 12345" (State Code + Plate Number).
- State Codes: Each state in Nigeria has a unique code, which is used to identify the plate number. For example, Lagos State has the code "Lagos", while Abuja has the code "Abuja".
- Plate Number Length: The new plate numbers are 8 characters long, consisting of 3 letters (State Code) + 5 numbers.
- Color Scheme: The new plate numbers have a unique color scheme, with a white background and black text.
- Security Features: The new plate numbers have advanced security features, such as holograms, watermarks, and micro-printing, to prevent counterfeiting and tampering.
Here's a breakdown of the new plate number format:
- State Code: 3 letters (e.g., Lagos = LAG, Abuja = ABJ)
- Plate Number: 5 numbers (e.g., 12345)
Example: Lagos AA 12345
Note that the old plate numbers are still valid, but the FRSC encourages vehicle owners to replace their old plates with the new ones to avoid any issues or fines.
