The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has revealed how citizens can obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) using their phone.
In a notice issued by NIMC, the Commission said, “To get your NIN in 2026, start at penrol.nimc.gov.ng on your phone or computer to save waiting time.
“Fill in your biodata online and print the Pre-Enrolment Slip, which features your barcode.
”Please note that you will be required to upload original supporting documents ( Standard Nigerian Passport, Voter’s Card, Certificate of Origin, or Birth Certificate, etc.) to the portal.
“After printing your slip, visit a NIMC office where an officer will scan the barcode and capture your biometrics (fingerprints and photo).
“You will receive a Transaction Slip, and your NIN is typically ready within five working days.
” Tip: Dial *346# first to see if you already have a NIN.
“For your data modification, kindly visit selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng
“For verification and authentication of your NIN and digital Identity, kindly download the NIMC NinAuth on IOS and Play Store”, NIMC said.
