How to Get Your NIN For 2020 JambUtme Applicants (From Age 16yrs & above)

Step 1

Go to any cybercafe, tell them you want to fill the National Identity Form. They will take you through the entire pre-enrolment process for an affordable fee. Make sure they submit it online , then they will print out your own copy for you.

Price is usually btw N700 - N1000.

Step 2

Take your pre-filled copy to any NIMC enrollment center around you. An enrolment official will attend to you and take you through the entire process.

I will do a thread on the centers by states in my next post. There are 43 of them scattered all over Lagos state

Step 3

After completing the enrolment, you will be given a transaction ID slip, and then given a day to come get your NIN.

Usually within 5 working days.

*** Additional Information ***

- The NIMC guys are available from Mon to Fri, 8am to 4pm.

- If you are still a minor ( you don't have any official national documents) make sure you go with at least your birth certificate

- If you are a Pentagon ( as in you are already making money but you just feel like getting a degree) you can go with any valid national ID or your BVN.

- Your focus should be on getting your NIN, not the national ID card.

- Enrollment is free, pre-enrolment is not free.

- Pray that they should have network or that their server should not be down.

What are you waiting for? Go and do the needful.
