Our process - NIN IN 3 EASY STEPS
After enrolment, NIMC issues a National Identification Number (NIN), which is a unique number that identifies an individual for life. It’s used to match a person’s biometric data and other information in the National Identity Database (NIDB). NIN is a number that is used to link all of a person’s information in Nigeria’s national database and to verify their identification. All citizens and legal residents in Nigeria, from age zero (birth) and above are eligible to enroll for their NIN.
Pre-enrollment/Appointment booking
The pre-enrollment/appointment booking process is an important step in the process of enrolling for a NIN . It helps to ensure that the NIMC can efficiently process the applicants application and issue them with a NIN as quickly as possible.
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is responsible for issuing National Identification Numbers (NINs) to all citizens and legal residents of Nigeria. The NIN is a unique 11-digit number that is used to identify individuals in Nigeria.
Once the applicant has completed the pre-enrollment process, they will receive an appointment confirmation slip. The applicant must bring this confirmation slip to their appointment. They must also bring a valid identification document to their appointment.
