National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced an upgrade to its diaspora NIN enrollment platform, designed to enhance security and service delivery for Nigerians residing abroad.
Gatekeepers News reports that the update was communicated through a recent post on the commission’s official X page.
NIMC has specified that all Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) must activate their licenses within 48 hours in order to continue providing enrollment services to Nigerians in the diaspora.
“The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has enhanced its diaspora enrolment platform for better security and efficiency. Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) must activate their licences within 48 hours to resume services. For support, contact nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng.,” they said.
NIMC also reassures Nigerians that NIN enrolment services remain active across the country.
Individuals can visit http://nimc.gov.ng to find the nearest enrolment centre.
Those who need to update their NIN data can do so conveniently online at https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng
For secure access and easy verification of their NIN, users are encouraged to download the NINAuth App, which is available on both the iOS and Google Play stores.
The Diaspora NIN Enrolment Platform is an online system developed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to enable Nigerians living abroad to enrol for their National Identification Number (NIN) securely and efficiently. The platform helps bridge the gap for Nigerians who cannot easily access enrolment centres within the country, ensuring they can still obtain and update their NIN remotely.
Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) are accredited organisations or agencies authorised by NIMC to facilitate the enrolment and verification process for Nigerians in the diaspora. They act as intermediaries, helping applicants submit their biometric data and documents securely to NIMC.
The platform was updated to enhance security features and improve the overall efficiency of the enrolment process. The upgrade aims to prevent fraud, reduce technical glitches, and provide a smoother user experience for Nigerians abroad seeking to obtain or update their NIN.
