Change of Date Of Birth details on NIN 2024
Changing your Date of Birth (DOB) is a one-time opportunity, whether through the self-service website or at a NIMC enrollment centre. To initiate this change, users must provide an NPC birth certificate. Before commencing the Date of Birth Modification on NIMC, ensure completion of birth attestation/registration on the NPC website. It’s crucial to note that any subsequent payments for this change after the one-time opportunity will not be refunded nor will the change be effected.
NIN change of name Online requirements
The self-service website allows multiple changes of name throughout one’s lifetime. However, after three modifications on this platform, further name change requests must be handled at a NIMC enrollment centre. To commence a name change, users must provide a valid court affidavit and government-issued identification displaying their full names. For name changes due to marriage, a valid marriage certificate and a newspaper update are necessary.
Change Of Address details on NIN
Changing your home address is unrestricted over a lifetime, accessible through both the self-service website and NIMC enrollment centers. To initiate this change, users need to provide either a utility bill, tenancy agreement, bank statement, or a community leader’s attestation.
Change of Phone Number
Updates to your phone number are permitted multiple times within a lifetime. However, the self-service website only allows three modifications. Upon reaching this limit, any additional phone number changes must be processed at a NIMC enrollment center. To begin a phone number change, users are required to submit a police report indicating the phone number to be updated.
