National Identity Number Processes for Capturing Applicants of 16 years (Adult Enrolment):

  • The candidate walks into the registration Centre with a backup document.
  • The aspirant will be confirmed to find out if he or she has been registered using the NIN confirmation portal.
  • The interviewee will be given a registration form to fill if he or she has not yet been registered. OR the printed Barcode slip will be accepted if the candidate had been pre-enrolled earlier.
  • The candidate’s forms will be checked by a NIMC official to double-check the material filled on the form with the backup document provided to check for more errors and mistake-filled on the form.

Note: applicants that cannot read or write should be escorted by a knowledgeable individual who can do the form filling for him or her.

  • Aspirants will pre-filled the information which will be recorded into the NIMC Software by a NIMC registration officer or the Barcode slip will be scanned by the NIMC registration officer to fill all the required fields.
  • The employment officer will ask the candidate to double-check his or her data for errors checking in the applicant monitor.
  • If the applicant is happy with his or her demographic data, the biometrics (Fingerprints and Facial images) of the candidate will be captured.
  • After the registration, a Transaction ID Slip will be sent to the candidate as evidence of the transaction. In other words, the Transaction slip does not verify the right to National Identification Number. The National Identification Number (NIN) is delivered to the candidates after processing.
  • The National ID Card will be given out to the applicant within twelve months after the Issuance of NIN without any unexpected circumstances.
