To ensure effective service delivery and smooth management of the National Identification Number, NIN, enrolment in the Diaspora, the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has successfully upgraded its diaspora enrolment platform.
NIMC’s Head, Corporate Communications, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, made this known in a statement on Monday.
He said the upgrade process, which was successfully completed, would, amongst many other benefits, provide a seamless, robust, more secure, efficient and effective NIN service delivery to Nigerians in the Diaspora.
Consequently, he added, NIMC Diaspora Front-End Partners, FEPs, had been onboarded on the upgraded system with intensive training to equip the FEPs with the prerequisite knowledge on the application and effective management of the new system.
He said while all the Diaspora FEPs were required to obtain and activate their NIN enrolment licenses on the upgraded platform within the next 48 hours, diaspora applicants could access enrolment services from the compliant FEPs.

The commission, he stated, apologised for any inconvenience the platform upgrade process might have caused and had set up a dedicated service team to resolve all issues related to diaspora enrolment.
“Diaspora applicants experiencing issues with NIN enrolment should please reach the Commission via [email protected] for timely resolution,” he appealed.
Meanwhile, NIN enrolment is ongoing across all the centres in Nigeria.
According to Adegoke, applicants can locate the nearest enrolment centres on the NIMC website – www.nimc.gov.ng – and proceed for enrolment.
He said Nigerians at home or in the Diaspora could also modify their NIN data through the https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng portal.
NIN holders, he said, were equally enjoined to download the NIMC NINAuth App on either iOS or Google Play Store to instantly verify their NINs, approve who sees their information, take total control of their data and enjoy seamless verification and authentication services.
