The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced the upgrade of its diaspora enrolment platform to enhance the management and delivery of National Identification Number (NIN) services to Nigerians living abroad.
According to a statement signed by the Director Corporate Communications at the Commission, Dr Kayode Adegoke, the upgrade will deliver a more seamless, robust, secure, and efficient service experience for diaspora applicants.
As part of the process, NIMC’s Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) have been onboarded onto the new system and given intensive training to ensure effective application and management of the platform.
All FEPs are expected to obtain and activate their NIN enrolment licenses on the upgraded platform within the next 48 hours, after which diaspora Nigerians can access services from compliant centres.
NIMC however apologised for the inconvenience caused during the upgrade and announced the creation of a dedicated service team to address enrolment issues.
According to the statement, diaspora applicants facing challenges on NIN enrolment platform are advised to contact the Commission via nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng for prompt resolution.
The Commission also confirmed that NIN enrolment is ongoing across all centres in Nigeria, and applicants can find the nearest location through the NIMC website, www.nimc.gov.ng.
Additionally, Nigerians both at home and abroad can update their NIN data via the https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng portal.
NIMC further urged NIN holders to download the NINAuth App from the iOS or Google Play Store to instantly verify their NINs, control who accesses their data, and enjoy smooth verification and authentication services.
