The app is now working perfectly now.


It's not working.
Just checked again and if not that it does not allow screen shot I would have sent you what it says.

Unless you are using the fake one and thinks it's the original one. Lol

Urgent! Urgent!! Urgent!!!

I found out that from the original NIN App when verifying my NIN & my Wife NIN number.

Someone else has impersonating my NIN ID & my wife NIM ID, having a phone number that is not tally with our own phone numbers on it.

Meaning others people impersonate our NIN using their phone numbers (I don't know how could this happened. The NIN official should be watch carefully, their are people impersonating others NIN ID).

If not this NIN exercise verification, I wouldn't have known this.

Later check my younger sister NIN with the App, her phone number was correct.

Please let watch for impersonators.

I need it for some online verifications in coloured format with good quality.

scanner should do the trick. Scan and do some cropping.
But that online ID is not the same as the physical one, even though it closely resembles it.

I will try scanning...

But does that mean the online ID can't be used for verification?

Nimc built a Very useless app with very poor ratings on Google play store. I downloaded the app, supplied my NIN number on my temporary slip, the good for nothing app said my NIN is incorrect. Can you imagine this fuckery. NIN number that have long been connected to my bank account.

I never trusted this app thing from the outset because I know our criminally minded Nigerian brethren will find a way to cash in
The App allows you to link additional six numbers. That's what the mobile network cannot provide

It's the same I am using.
When I type my nin number after the necessary skip it says OOPS I should type my nin number which I have been doing again and again. Just want to register 3 other aim to the original one I used to get my national identity number.
Na the other 3 lines go loose and not me because I will manage this one that has the nin and is attached to my bvn also.

Re: NIN: Beware Of Fake App, NIMC Warns Nigerians by UDUJ(m): 7:04pm On Jan 11, 2021
Guys please take note of this: the app only works with the mobile phone number you used for your NIN registration. So it has to be the same mobile phone number because it will send a pin code to the official line you filled while doing your NIN registration. Please take note of this.

If the phone number is no longer available double wahala because you will need to visit NIMC and update your phone number on their system.Being a Nigerian is already stressful as it is cheesy

Mine was hitch free. My main line is a glo line anyway. I don't know if other network users had issues with theirs. Cheers cool

See them talking as if they just created a super app or just solved Nigeria's biggest problem.

That's how they shouted and screamed about bvn.
That it will do this and do that, that it will solve this and solve that!
