To ensure effective service delivery and smooth management of the National
Identification Number (NIN) enrolment in the Diaspora, the National Identity
Management Commission has successfully upgraded its diaspora enrolment
platform.
The upgrade process, which was successfully completed, will, amongst many
other benefits, provide a seamless, robust, more secure, efficient and effective
NIN service delivery to Nigerians in the Diaspora.
Consequently, NIMC Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) have been onboarded on
the upgraded system with intensive training to equip the FEPs with the prerequisite
knowledge on the application and effective management of the new system.
While all the Diaspora FEPs are required to obtain and activate their NIN enrolment
licenses on the upgraded platform within the next forty-eight hours (48 hours),
diaspora applicants can access enrolment services from the compliant FEPs.
The Commission apologises for any inconvenience the platform upgrade process
might have caused and has set up a dedicated service team to resolve all issues
related to diaspora enrolment. Diaspora applicants experiencing issues with NIN
enrolment should please reach the Commission via
nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng for timely resolution.
Meanwhile, NIN enrolment is ongoing across all the centres in Nigeria. Applicants
can locate the nearest enrolment centres on the NIMC website –
www.nimc.gov.ng – and proceed for enrolment. Nigerians at home or in the
Diaspora can also modify their NIN data through the
https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng portal.
NIN Holders are equally enjoined to download the NIMC NINAuth App on either
iOS or Google Play Store to instantly verify their NINs, approve who sees their
information, take total control of their data and enjoy seamless verification and
authentication services.
