NIN Enrollment Service
National Identification Number (NIN) Enrollment
The National Identification Number (NIN) is a unique identity number issued to individuals by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). It is a mandatory requirement for all citizens and legal residents to participate in major national services, secure banking, and obtain international passports.
What the Process Involves
Enrolling for a NIN consists of demographic data capture and biometric data collection. Our service facilitates this process seamlessly:
- Data Capture: We collect your demographic information securely prior to your biometric appointment.
- Biometrics: A 10-fingerprint scan, digital signature, and head-to-shoulder photograph will be taken.
- Processing: We expedite the verification through secure channels to generate your unique 11-digit number.
Output Formats
Once your NIN is generated, you can choose how you receive your identification:
- Standard Slip: The official NIMC-generated paper slip containing your unique number, tracking ID, and basic demographic data.
- Premium PVC Card: For enhanced durability and convenience, we offer printing of your NIN on a standardized, wallet-sized plastic card.
