How to Check NIN Number

Have you linked your National Identity Number (NIN) with your phone number yet? If you haven’t, you better hurry because the telecommunication companies (MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9Mobile) are getting serious about this.

If you can’t recall your NIN, your SIM card could be blocked. Don’t worry, I got you covered. Here’s how to quickly check your NIN on all these networks and online.

What’s NIN & How Does it Work?

Before getting into how to check NIN number let’s know more about NIN. The National Identity Number is a set of 11 random digits assigned to a Nigerian citizen after successful enrollment.

To get your NIN, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) collects your demographic data, ten fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial images, and digital signature, and records them in their database.

But don’t worry, you won’t have to go all the way to NIMC’s head office every time you need to access your information. Once you’ve been assigned your NIN, an 11-digit code will be linked to your bio-data, and that’s it. No one else can claim it. You’re verified for life, even in death.

What’s the Purpose of NIN?

The NIN is used for anything that requires identity verification in Nigeria. You can use it for:

Obtaining your National e-ID card
Traveling (International passport application & acquisition)
Opening personal bank accounts
Getting your driver’s license
Obtaining your Permanent Voters’ Card
Participating in the National Health Insurance Scheme
Paying taxes
Transactions related to your contributory pension scheme
Accessing welfare and other relevant services from the Nigerian government
Transactions with social security implications
Land transactions subject to the Land Use Act
How to Get Your NIN?
If you’re 16 or older, visit any NIMC enrolment center near you and bring a supporting document with you. Your details will be cross-checked on the NIN verification portal to make sure you haven’t registered before.

If you haven’t, you’ll proceed with the registration. If you have, your old NIN will be retrieved for you. And the best part, all these processes are free (except for printing and lamination, which usually costs ₦100 or less).

Documents Needed to Register Your NIN

To register your NIN, all you need is your Bank Verification Number (BVN) and any of the following documents:

Old National ID Card
Driver’s License
Voter’s card (Temporary or Permanent)

Smart move

What you should know: The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court had earlier barred the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and President Muhammadu Buhari and 27 commercial banks from suspending or interfering with the currency redesign terminal date of February 10 or issuing any directive contrary to the said date.

13 political parties out of the 18 political parties in Nigeria have threatened to withdraw from participating in the February 25 and March 11, 2023, general elections, if the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) extends the February 10 deadline for the naira swap.

Kaduna, Zamfara, and Kogi States dragged the Federal Government to Supreme Court over the scarcity of old and new Naira notes due to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s naira redesign policy.

The state governments who said they are worried by the effects the CBN naira redesign policy is having on the residents of their states, are seeking a restraining order by the Supreme Court to compel the government and CBN from implementing the policy.

The parties said they won’t be interested in the elections if the new deadline of February 10, 2023 is shifted as demanded by some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

That is why the governor has suspended his campaign because it does not make sense for him to be dancing while people are complaining about lack of fuel and inadequate access to exchange the old notes.

The completion of Dangote Refinery was what was holding back its removal.
