PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON EACH WEBSITE AND FOLLOW THE STEPS RELIGIOUSLY.

This information is just a summary of my personal steps which I took inorder to fix my issues which had been a hindrance to me renewing my international passport.

All these steps are carried out with my phone with good camera though it took long time for facial verification to be registered.

1. Go to national population commission and get get Birth Attestation certificate (if born before 1992 year) or Birth Certificate (if born after 1992 year). Cost 20dollars and can be done using self-service option. You need to wait at least a day before downloading the certificate. After validation of NIN in the NPC website, you can modify your date of birth by selecting the correct date on the calender before you continue filling other details. There will also be a page prompt at the end of filling the form for you to confirm your details before proceeding to submit the form. (After the submission, you can only modify few things in the birth document to be generated. Be sure all details are correct before submission.)

2.Proceed to self-modification in same national population commission website inorder to re-arrange/fix up your name details (if your first name and middle name is arranged inappropriately ). This service will cost you 10 dollars. There is a service charge of extra 1 dollar for step 1 and step 2. Don't forget to copy the code generated because it will be needed to download the certificate or start up your registration depending on which stage you are. You can screenshot each stage completed with the code generated for easier reference when needed.


3.When your birth certificate/attestion is in order, you will then be able to proceed to NIN website to initiate the necessary correction for the birth date that is wrong. You will need the digital copy of the downloaded birth certificate/attestation (plus an affidavit). For other modification in NIN website, they have various documents requirements and also cost 20 dollars each plus 1 dollar service charge.



4.After the completion of the NIN document birth date modification, please allow them time to process your document. if successful, you can then proceed to download it.


5.With this updated NIN certificate, you can now be able to rectify whatever issues you have in your bank or proceed to start your international passport processing/renewal depending on what you actually wanted.


6.This updated NIN certificate can then be used to update your BVN details in your bank. Once your BVN AND NIN details matches together, the sky is your limit for any future registration or renewal of government documents you will be doing in the future.


Expenses so far:

1. NIMC modification (date of birth ) 21usd (1usd service charge plus 20usd fee )

2.Birth attestation (21usd )

3.Birth attestation modification (11usd ).
This is for the re-arragement of my name and addition of my middle name to the birth certificate.

4.Birth attestation Re-print (21usd).

5.Miscellaneous expenses (30usd )

This is the major step taken and all issues resolved fully.

There are multiple websites which I mentioned but you did not state which one is not working.

Anyway, should be network issues. Be patient.

Thanks for sharing this. Found it helpful

Seems some overworked NIMC staff had mistakenly keyed in my date of birth as May 30 instead of May 31

Just imagine the stress a simple typo can cause!

P.S. In case anyone else needs the site link, here it is

I am glad it helps especially as Nigeria is trying to harmonise all vital data like NIN, BVN and international passport details etc to match before you could do anything else.

It was stressful when I was trying to sort mine, but at the end of the day, it was worth it
