Some do not even know how to go about printing or getting their nin, but we have done justice to that in the subsequent paragraphs.

How to Apply for a National Identity Number.
The faster your application can be processed, the more strongly we recommend that you register for your NIN via the steps outlined here.
- Obtain and print a copy of the pre-enrollment form by filling it out online Slip of Pre-Registration
- Fill out the NIMC Pre Enrollment online form at the Pre Enrollment Portal.
- All of the required fields must be filled out completely and correctly.
- Send in Your Application.
Bring one of the original and valid supporting documents to a NIMC Registration Center near you to get started.
At the Enrollment Center, you will be taken to a counter where the Enrollment Officer will verify that all of the information on your application is present and correct.
It is up to the Enrollment Officer to take you through the process of taking your biometrics (ten fingerprints, a photograph of your face, etc.). You will receive a notification for the process.
Applicants who are unable to read or write should be accompanied by a literate someone who can fill out the forms on their behalf.
There should be a parent or guardian present to assist minor applicants with the form filling.
Only the genuine and valid birth certificate and NIN slip of one of the Nigerian Parents/guardians should be submitted by minor applicants.
After the biometric data is gathered at enrollment facilities, it usually takes 2 to 3 business days for the NIN Slip to be generated and sent out to the applicant.
Due to the confirmation of information at the NIMC, the issue of a NIN may take longer in some situations than usual. In these types of situations, VFS has no function to play.
The Transaction ID Slip must be preserved securely by the applicant since it must be presented at the time of collecting the NIN Slip indicating completion of enrollment.
