The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced the successful upgrade of its National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment portal for Nigerians living abroad.
The announcement was made on Monday through a statement signed by NIMC’s spokesperson, Kayode Adegoke.
According to the commission, the upgraded portal will offer a more secure, faster, and more efficient NIN enrolment process for Nigerians in the diaspora.
“To ensure effective service delivery and smooth management of NIN enrolment abroad, the NIMC has successfully upgraded its diaspora enrolment platform,” the statement said. “This upgrade provides a seamless and robust system for Nigerians in the Diaspora.”
The commission added that its Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) have been trained on how to use the new system and must activate their licences on the platform within 48 hours.
Diaspora Nigerians can now access enrolment services through any of the compliant partners.
NIMC also apologised for any inconvenience caused during the upgrade process and assured applicants that a dedicated support team is now in place to resolve issues quickly.
The commission reminded Nigerians that NIN enrolment is still ongoing at all centres within the country and urged citizens to visit the NIMC website to find the nearest location.
NIN holders are also encouraged to download the NIMC NINAuth app from the iOS or Google Play Store to manage their data and verify their identities digitally.
