- Driver’s license renewals and other regulatory processes, etc,.
Key Features and Benefits include:
- Enhanced Security—Protects personal data from unauthorized access.

- Seamless Access—provides a secure single sign-on solution for convenient access to services.
This innovation reaffirms NIMC’s commitment to advancing secure and efficient digital identity management, ensuring a more accessible, transparent, and secure identity verification system in Nigeria.
The NINAuth application provides a secure, scalable, and interoperable interface for identity verification through API integration.
It is designed to facilitate real-time authentication of NIN records, thereby promoting effective service delivery, database harmonization, and compliance with the National Identity Policy of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The NINAuth service has been designated as the exclusive platform for all NIN-based verification and authentication integration processes for optimal services.
Nigerians are required to download the NINAuth App on Google Play Store and Apple iOS App Store to use the NIN Authentication Service.
The implementation guide and process flow of the NIMC NIN Authentication are available for download on the playstore.
