How to Check Your NIN Number in Nigeria
Get in touch on Whatsapp now:

The National Identification Number (NIN) is a unique 11-digit number issued to Nigerian citizens and residents by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). It is essential for accessing various government and financial services, including SIM card registration, banking, and international travel.

If you have registered for your NIN and need to retrieve it, there are several methods to check your NIN number conveniently.


Methods to Check Your NIN Number

1. Using Your Mobile Phone (USSD Code)

You can retrieve your NIN directly on your mobile phone by following these steps:

  1. Dial *346# on the phone number you used to register for your NIN.
  2. Follow the prompts to retrieve your NIN.
  3. Your NIN will be displayed on the screen.

Cost: A service fee of ₦20 may apply. Ensure you have sufficient airtime on your phone.


2. Through Your NIN Slip or Card

If you have a printed NIN slip or the National e-ID Card issued during registration, your NIN is written on it. Look for the 11-digit number labeled as “NIN” on the slip or card.


3. Using the NIMC Mobile App

The NIMC Mobile App allows you to access your NIN and other identification details digitally.

Steps:

  1. Download the NIMC Mobile App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  2. Log in using the phone number linked to your NIN.
  3. Complete the verification process.
  4. View your NIN and other information within the app.

4. Visiting an NIMC Enrollment Center

If you are unable to retrieve your NIN through the methods above, visit an NIMC enrollment center.

Steps:

  1. Provide your biometric information or registration details.
  2. Request assistance in retrieving your NIN.
  3. You may need to present valid identification.

Important Notes

  • Registered Phone Number: Ensure that you use the phone number linked to your NIN registration for USSD and app-based retrieval.
  • Keep Your NIN Confidential: Treat your NIN like a sensitive piece of information to avoid identity theft or fraud.
  • Update Your NIN Details: If you need to update personal details (e.g., name change), visit an NIMC office.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Forgotten Linked Phone Number: Visit an NIMC office to update your phone number or retrieve your NIN.
  • Invalid NIN Error: Confirm that your registration was successful by contacting NIMC customer service.
  • SIM Not Linked to NIN: Register your NIN with your mobile service provider to avoid network disconnection.

Final Thoughts

Checking your NIN is simple and accessible through various methods, including USSD, the NIMC Mobile App, or a visit to an enrollment center. Ensure you keep your NIN secure and updated to access essential services without hassle.
