The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC has announced the successful upgrade of its diaspora enrolment platform, aimed at enhancing efficiency, security, and overall service delivery for Nigerians living abroad.
According to the Commission, the upgraded platform will offer a more robust and seamless experience for National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment, while strengthening data security.
As part of the upgrade, NIMC has onboarded its Diaspora Front-End Partners (FEPs) onto the new system and provided intensive training to ensure effective management and application of the technology.
All Diaspora FEPs have been given 48 hours to obtain and activate their NIN enrolment licences on the upgraded system. Nigerians abroad can now access enrolment services from FEPs that have complied with the new requirements.
NIMC acknowledged that the upgrade process may have caused some inconveniences and has set up a dedicated service team to handle related complaints.
Diaspora applicants facing enrolment issues are urged to contact the Commission via nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng for prompt assistance.
Meanwhile, NIN enrolment continues across all centres in Nigeria, with details of the nearest locations available on the NIMC website. Both local and diaspora applicants can also modify their NIN data via the online self-service portal.
The Commission further encouraged NIN holders to download the NIMC NINAuth App from the iOS or Google Play Store to verify their NINs, control data access, and enjoy improved authentication services.
