The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) said that a major upgrade of its diaspora National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment platform, has been completed.
The diaspora NIN enrolment platform was designed to deliver smoother, faster, and more secure services to Nigerians abroad.
According to Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head of Corporate Communications at NIMC, the new system offers a robust and efficient platform that enhances user experience and strengthens data security for diaspora enrolment.
Following the upgrade, all NIMC Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) have been integrated into the new system and given intensive training to ensure seamless operations.
These partners are required to activate their enrolment licences within 48 hours, enabling Nigerians abroad to access services through compliant FEPs.
NIMC apologised for any inconvenience caused during the upgrade and has deployed a dedicated support team to address related issues.
Diaspora applicants with enrolment challenges can email nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng for prompt assistance.
In Nigeria, NIN enrolment remains available nationwide, with centre locations listed on the website. Both local and diaspora applicants can also update their NIN details online via the portal.
NIN holders are encouraged to download the NIMC NINAuth App from the iOS App Store or Google Play to verify their NIN instantly, manage who can view their data, and enjoy secure verification and authentication services.
