Today i will like to reveal to you all the Guidelines And Procedure for Getting National Identity Number (NIN) at a very easy way with little or no stress.
These will be based on my experience and online research about the easiest way to get your NIN. I think i should just brief you about what led to my research.
One of my employees want to write next year JAMB UTME and she needs to register for her NIN, last week Monday she visited two Enrollment Centers in Ibadan and she was told she need to come very early on Sunday to pick number. On this previous Sunday she went and nothing happens, she went back very early on Monday but to my surprise she was told she didn’t come early enough. She was told to either sleep there or come as early as 4:30am. LOL! All in the name of registering for NIN.
If you are facing this type of issue or any other related ones, please for security reasons you don’t need to sleep outside or going out any early hours. Below are what you can do to save yourself some stress.
How To Enroll For NIN
NIN Enrollment consists of the recording of an individual’s demographic data and capture of the ten (10) fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial picture and digital signature, which are all used to cross-check existing data in the National Identity Database to confirm that there is no previous entry of the same data.
It is very important that you apply on the NIMC Pre Enrollment Portal and follow the process as defined for applying for National Identification Number.
Please note that applicants in requirement of assistance with Enrollment Form have an option to visit any of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Enrollment Centres where they will be assisted by a Support Officer in correctly filling the Enrollment Form with the required information.
