According to a post on X, the mobile application allows users to make corrections conveniently without the need to visit NIMC offices physically.

Users can register for the service via the application or online portal by providing their NIN, last name, and email address before accessing the data modification channel.

Did you know you can modify your name, date of birth, mobile number, house address, email address, etc., on the NIMC Self-Service App?

Previously, amending data on the NIN posed challenges for many Nigerians, leading to long queues at NIMC offices nationwide.

Compounding the issue, since 2021, individuals faced fees ranging from N5,000 to N15,000 to rectify incorrect data on the NIN database.

These charges covered various corrections such as name, address, card renewal or replacement, and date of birth, as explained by NIMC’s regional coordinator in Alausa, Lagos, Funmi Opensanwo.

“The money we charge is for modification fee,” Opensanwo said on Channels TV in January 2021.

“For the date of birth correction, the processing fee is N15,000. For card renewal or card replacement, there is a processing fee of N5,000.

“For a modification of your name and address, there is a fee of N5,000.”

The announcement followed allegations of illegal fees demanded by some NIMC officials for linking NIN to SIM cards.

The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) had mandated all mobile networks to link phone numbers to NIN, extending the requirement to bank accounts.

Defaulters risk suspension of their accounts, reinforcing the urgency for Nigerians to ensure compliance with NIN linkage directives.
