“N16,640 for date of birth”

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has released the fees that Nigerians wishing to modify data on their National Identification Number (NIN) will have to pay.

Recall that NIMC recently announced that corrections can be made to name, date of birth and phone numbers incorrectly registered with their NIN on a newly launched mobile application.

Prior to this announcement, Nigerians wishing to modify their data on NIN have had to go through a difficult process, besieging NIMC’s offices across the country.

NIMC earlier did not announced fees for the modification of data owning to some technical glitches on the mobile app.

NIMC set different fees for the modification of specific self-service options for the modification of data – name, age, date of birth, phone number and email address – on the NIN.

The Commission wrote on its X account: “Good news!!! You no longer have to go to a NIN enrolment center to modify your NIN record.

“You can modify your date of birth, name, address, email, and phone number on the NIMC SELF-SERVICE APP. What are you waiting for???”
