The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has made known the fees that Nigerians will have to pay to correct their data on their National Identification Number (NIN).
The commission had recently announced that corrections can be made to names, dates of birth, and phone numbers incorrectly registered with their NIN on a newly launched mobile application.
Hitherto, Nigerians who wanted to modify their data on NIN have had to go through a difficult process, overwhelming NIMC’s offices nationwide.
NIMC, upon launch of the app, did not announce fees for the modification of data until seven days later amid complaints from users about technical glitches on the mobile app.
NIMC set different fees for the modification of specific self-service options for the modification of data – name, age, date of birth, phone number, and email address – on the NIN.
The Commission wrote on its X account, “Good news!!! You no longer have to go to a NIN enrolment center to modify your NIN record. You can modify your date of birth, name, address, email, and phone number on the NIMC SELF-SERVICE APP. What are you waiting for???”
How to modify your NIN data using the NIMC mobile app:
Log on to https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng
After login, you will be requested to provide your NIN, last name, and email address
After providing the above, the data modification channel will be accessible.
