The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has unveiled a mobile application for modification of data on the National Identification Number (NIN).

According to the post made by NIMC on Saturday via X, Nigerians can make corrections of name, date of birth, and phone numbers incorrectly registered with their NIN on the mobile application.

The application and online portal allows visitors to register to use the service. Thereafter, it requests for visitors’ NIN, last name, email address before launching the data modification channel

In the past, modifying data on the National Identification Number (NIN) has posed challenges for Nigerians. Hundreds of individuals have flocked to NIMC offices across the country to either register for the NIN or request corrections to their data.

The situation became more concerning for many in 2021 when the NIMC announced fees ranging from N5,000 to N15,000 for rectifying incorrect data on the NIN database.

Before now, Nigerians who wanted to modify their data on NIN have had to go through a difficult process, besieging NIMC’s offices nationwide.

However, the commission has announced that all modifications on the NIN can now be done seamlessly on the NIMC Self-Service App. NIN:

Long overdue

This is good

Good development. But the cost of correction is too high please

Many people will appreciate this but this was supposed to have been in existence right from the beginning of the program.


How can you not be able to edit your Information such as date of birth or name or addresses?


And if this is linked to all mobile lines and bank accounts, why can't we track down criminals? Why can't we see what the politicians are stealing into their accounts?

I knew that as far as politicians and the working class have interest in perfecting their name and age for their personal interests.
NIMC will be compelled to yield and soft pedal their rules.

This is good

Yes, it is.
