Chukas123:


Please how did you do it?
Correcting your BVN DOB

markmood:
The 15k charge for the DOB change is official. As a matter of fact, you pay via REMITA and present the slip at NIMC. The main issue is the NIMC has not figured a way of resolving the DOB since they started which I find very embarrassing. I am currently trying to sort this out as I can't renew my international passport without my DOB being corrected on their useless portal.
It is actually very bad as I was introduced to a lady who worked at NIMC, she told me she hoped my issue wasn't a DOB one. Imagine that? Why enforce this NI thing that doesn't have the capability for corrections of errors. Makes no sense at all.
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? There has to be a way around this

Sandra45:
I did my nin registration since 2016 n now I got a visa to travel out to UK probably this month or next,my issue n fear is that my nin details don’t match my passport at all and I was told by someone who works at the immigration office,that I won’t be able to travel out of this country without my nin,is it true The time frame is short to change dob and name,hear it takes 3months to change. When I did my passport last year at Lokoja nobody asked me for this nin number o

I paid 15k via remitta. Then went to their office for recapturing. It took about a week or two because it was during the Christmas/New year holiday

YeankahP:


Thank you greatly. Can you confirm that recapturing is mandatory? I'm asking because I'm currently in Lagos. Did you also take any additional documents ?

Royalty63:

I took birth certificate, waec result, just to show proof of year of birth. I’m not certain if capturing is necessary but In my case I recaptured.

YeankahP:


You've been very helpful. Tiri gbosa for you.
...Cheers!

remi1444:
Is it mandatory to pay for the arrangement of name Eg. Seun Osewa Pablo(NIN) whilst NIMC carries Pablo Osewa Seun?

YeankahP:


I just saw this sorry. While I can't confirm if it's mandatory or not, I'll strongly recommend you resolve any discrepancies between the name arrangements on both NIN and NIMC.

In the example you referenced, we fit argue sai na two entirely different persons dem be, since the surnames become changed by virtue of the arrangements.
I hope this helps.

remi1444:
Thank you for your reply, how can I effect the arrangement? I'm naive in this regard.

Awani007:



Not atall.... did mine at Ikoyi immigration

UnclePati:
U can register or edit your Nimc info for free.
Walk into any zenith bank as ask for NIMC registration stand or official....

They are present in selected branches of zenith bank.

The person charging u 15k is a thief. A criminal he should be treated as such and arrested for corruption and fraud.

NIMC registration and correction of details is FREEc
Correction of date of birth on Nimc is not free.

UnclePati:
[s] First: I didn't say zenith bank is NIMC.
Secondly....I said walk into zenith and ask for the NIMC official or NIMC stand.
Thirdly: I didn't say the staff of zenith bank work for NIMC.

Instead of u to read and comprehend my message .... U rather choose to talk in a hurry....hence exposing the loop holes in your reasoning and comprehension....

Oga....currently some female staff of zenith have been trained to handle the NIMC job function....they are only awaiting deployment and set up configuratution of the specialized NIMC computer systems.

So yes....zenith work for NIMC

If you happen to be in Lagos, just go to the state office as advised above, they will give you all the information you need.

If you are not in Lagos, try and locate the NIMC state office of wherever you are from their website.

Olaawealth:


I was told a change of name on NIN usually takes up to 6months, how true is that?

agabusta:


Not sure. But as usual with public services in Nigeria, it all depends on how much you are ready to part with asides the 15,000 official price. Someone did it with 50k and it was done within 2 weeks.
