hope everyone is aware of the registration process for the new i.d card presently going on in Abuja (do not know about other places).

the process is very simple and what you require are old national i.d card/current drivers license/current voters card/valid i.d card, birth certificate/declaration of age and a pen/biro.

the earlier you do it, the better

Are you going to pay any money during processing?

Not at all where I did mine.

If anyone charges you for anything know that you are being duped

Thanks OP for the timely info!

Congrats for registering early.

No, they've not started issuing the cards yet but you will be contacted via the phone number and email you registered with whenever it's ready.

OP, where exactly did you register cos I hav not seen any where it is done. Need to do mine ASAP.

Information disemmination by government officials is poor..alot of people are not aware of this!!!...NIMC and NOA should carry out an aggressive public enlightenment campaign of these important process

really? This will happen in this country? That would be good. Thank you for the information.
Appears you work with them. I must commend your staff in both Owerri and Enugu offices where I did mine and escourted my cousin to do hers. They were so nice and well trained to attend to the public. I was impressed. If other government offices could take a cue from them, nigeria would be greatly better

Yes you right that's the reason for this post so we can do our bit via this forum,
It's very vital we make sure every eligible Nigerian registers.
Thanks
