In Nigeria, it’s common to need updates to personal details initially provided during National Identification Number (NIN) registration.

Whether it’s due to a job change, a misplaced phone number, or a mistake in names—or even a name change—these updates are often necessary.

However, anyone familiar with the long queues at NIN enrollment centres knows how time-consuming this process can be.

To make life easier for citizens, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has introduced an online Self-Service Modifications portal.

This new platform allows Nigerians to update their NIN details from the convenience of their homes, making it easier to modify information such as Name, Phone Number, Date of Birth, and Address.
