NIN: NIMC stops data modification at enrollment centres, directs Nigerians to portal

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has said it would no longer allow data modification activity at any of its National Identification Number (NIN) enrollment centres across the country.  

The Commission announced this in a notice on Wednesday, adding that all NIN holders who want to modify their data should use the NIMC self-service modification portal. 

While the self-service portal had been launched long before now, people were still able to visit enrollment centers to modify their data, daring the long queues and long waiting times to get it done.  

Announcing the new policy via a post on its X handle, the Commission said the new policy is part of its efforts to enhance the National Identity Management System.  

“Modification activities will no longer be conducted in our enrollment centers. Instead, we have launched a convenient self-service modification portal, empowering you to update your information securely and efficiently online,” it said. 

NIMC highlighted the benefits of the Self-service modification to include convenience and the ability to update information anywhere, anytime.  

“No more long queues and waiting periods. It enhances the security of data because it is a secure online platform. And for it decreases, efficiency, faster, and approval,” the Commission stated.  

To use the NIMC modification portal, go to the NIMC self-service modification website at https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng  

Upon approval, you will receive a notification, and your updated NIN slip will be sent to your email. You can also print the slip directly from your dashboard.
