The National Identity Management Commission has successfully upgraded its diaspora enrolment platform in order to ensure effective service delivery and smooth management of the National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment outside the country.

According to a statement on Monday by the Head, Corporate Communications of the Commission, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, the upgrade process, which was successfully completed, will, amongst many other benefits, provide a seamless, robust, more secure, efficient and effective NIN service delivery to Nigerians in the Diaspora.

He said: “Consequently, NIMC Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) have been onboarded on the upgraded system with intensive training to equip the FEPs with the prerequisite knowledge on the application and effective management of the new system.

“While all the Diaspora FEPs are required to obtain and activate their NIN enrolment licenses on the upgraded platform within the next forty-eight hours (48 hours), diaspora applicants can access enrolment services from the compliant FEPs.”

He however said: “The Commission apologises for any inconvenience the platform upgrade process might have caused and has set up a dedicated service team to resolve all issues related to diaspora enrolment. Diaspora applicants experiencing issues with NIN enrolment should please reach the Commission via nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng for timely resolution.”

Meanwhile, NIN enrolment is ongoing across all the centres in Nigeria. Applicants can locate the nearest enrolment centres on the NIMC website – www.nimc.gov.ng – and proceed for enrolment. Nigerians at home or in the Diaspora can also modify their NIN data through the https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng portal.

NIN Holders are equally enjoined to download the NIMC NINAuthApp on either iOS or Google Play Store to instantly verify their NINs, approve who sees their information, take total control of their data and enjoy seamless verification and authentication services.
