How Did I Get The NIN Without Registration? by Estrella366: 1:33pm On Dec 20, 2020
Hello Nairalander, I would like to know the circumstances that could make it possible for a person who is yet to visit any of the NIMC offices or outlets either online or offline for the purpose of registering for the NIN get the NIN?

I have never made any prior efforts to register for the NIN stuff, however out of curiosity I tried entering the NIMC's NIN registration verification code *346# via my Etisalat phone number and to my surprise the system returned a positive answer with an eleven digit NIN.

So what are the possible technical reasons for this?

Thanks for your suggested answers.

I tried to see if I could verify the number on the NIMC website and di scovered that the site is down with message reading indicating "FORBIDDEN "black black bla

The SIM card you have must have been used by someone previously
Maybe the person is dead. The SIM card was recycled and you purchased it. Simple

I guess this is one of the reasons why our Network line should be linked with our various NIN.

Our Network providers keep recycling lines whichh is not advisabl. For instance, who remember the case of Delta State businesman arrested by DSS for using sim that once belong president's daughter.

My challenge with our Nigerian system of government is that, both network providers and government won't make us of it.

I bank with gtbank and my BVN starts with 222 maybe that's why I was able to get mine despite the fact that I have never registered for the NIN.

If you get a NIN using the short code then it means ur BVN data have been used to generate nin for you.. However you will still need to visit nimc office to activate the NIN for usage, the NIN u got from the short code is not yet active, synchronization of data and biometrics is still needed to activate it

but it is their own NIMC ussd, *346# that brought up the NIN when I quried it with my phone number. I tried first with my MTN number and the query returned negative. I don't thing there is any need to visit their offline office since I have already used the NIN to submit the GSM SIM linking as directed by the authorities except if at the end of the day my submission are rejected.

Please I have an issue here. I've actually registered for my nin last year. I did the thumbprint, photograph, and all. But I did not really print I out due to the fact that my centre has no printer. And the Sim card I used to register has been misplaced. My bvn was registered on that same number too. What do I do?

that sim card you are using is recycled, it's very possible someone else has used it before.
my first even line got lost a few years ago, every effort to retrieve it was futile, mind you line is currently in use by someone somewhere I don't know.
