The National Identification Number (NIN) was made in a bid to create a
national identity database. This will help put an end to crimes such
as double identity and identity fraud. When a person registers for his
or her NIN, individuals will be provided with an NIN and eventually a
national ID card.

It is mandatory for every citizen and a legal resident of Nigeria to
enroll for the National Identification Number.
What is NIN?
The unique National Identification Number (NIN) consists of 11
non-intelligible numbers that are randomly chosen and assigned to an
individual upon completion of enrolment. The NIN is then stored into
the National Identity Database (NIDB).
Once a particular National Identification Number is assigned to an
individual, it can never be issued to another person, even if the
previous user is dead. Hence, the NIN is yours till death.

How do I get NIN in Nigeria?
According to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC),
enrollment for the National Identification Number consists of the
following:Recording of an individual’s demographic data
Capturing of the ten (10) fingerprints
Head-to-shoulder facial picture
Digital signature of the applicant
All these are used to cross-check data that are already in the
National Identity Database so as to confirm that there is no previous
entry of the same data, to avoid duplication.

follow the process for application as defined for applying for by
NIMC.
Please note that applicants who want to be assisted in filling their
