| Age Modification On NIN by 1phone(op): 5:07pm On Jun 08, 2025 |
I'm having trouble with my NIN record, as my date of birth doesn't match. I need to correct it urgently to access my pension fund. I've tried approaching some individuals who claim to offer NIN modification services, but they're quoting ₦80,000, which seems excessive. Does anyone know the official process for correcting NIN records or have recommendations for legitimate assistance? I'd appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this quickly. Pls DM |

1phone:Have you been able to sort this out? did you use the self service? |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by 1phone(op): 1:04pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
not yet. hope to get to local Government council next week as directed. Self service process is effective only when all required documents and RRR are handy juliusocean: |

1phone:You only need attestation letter for certificate of birth from NPC which will be gotten online not from Local government. It's let say 3k-4k. Then you will pay the NIMC 28 or 30k. I did mine in April and everything cost maybe 34k including sorting out the NIMC staffs. |

1phone:what do you mean by RRR and what are you getting from the local govt? |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by juliusocean(m): 4:39pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
Hardeybohwarley:is this for the self service? how did you get the attestation letter for certificate of birth from NPC online? |

juliusocean:Self service with help from the NIMC officers. The attestation certificate cost 3-4k |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by juliusocean(m): 4:50pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
Hardeybohwarley:how did you get the cert? can you talk me through? |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by Hardeybohwarley(m): 5:16pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
juliusocean:Click on this link. https://attestation.nationalpopulation.gov.ng/welcome The best thing is to go to a NIMC office and meet one of their officials to help you with it. I did that and I gave them 6k. Plus the printing and use of their background wallpaper because you will need to snap yourself. Their help is necessary. |

Hardeybohwarley:the prob is i am not in the country currently so i really need to use the self service by myself, are you saying its impossible to do the attestation myself? |

Remita Retrieval Reference Number (RRR) is a 12-digit code that is generated electronically, and it is used for making financial payments on the Remita platform. Someone asked me to approach the bank pay for it through remitta juliusocean: |

1phone:do you know anyone that have used the self service recently? ![]() |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by 1phone(op): 5:51pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
The required document, i think can only be gotten easily from the local government juliusocean: |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by Hardeybohwarley(m): 5:56pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
juliusocean:You can do it. I cleared my browsing history that's the problem, I would have just sent you the links I used. The NIMC officers clicked some stuffs in that attestation site before he did the payment and he downloaded the certificate from check status. He made mention of a site where you will have to pay another 2k if your registration wasn't successful. I wish I could be of help. |

| Re: Age Modification On NIN by juliusocean(m): 6:23pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
Hardeybohwarley:i am on the website now it is asking me to pay $20 after i get the cert whats next? |
| Re: Age Modification On NIN by Hardeybohwarley(m): 6:26pm On Jun 18, 2025 |
juliusocean:That's the 3k. Pay it and wait for like 15 mins. Then click on the check status to download. Pray to God it's successful because if it's not you will have to pay another 2k at another website which I don't know. |
