How and where to register your NIN outside Nigeria

Posted by

Nigerians who are resident outside the country are asking how to get their National identification Number (NIN). That information is not quite available in public, for whatever reasons, so we asked around. Here is how to register your NIN outside Nigeria. 

The NIN is a unique identification number for each and every Nigerian and Legal Resident from the age of 16 years and above. NIN has 11 digits and is now required to access government services like getting an international passport, as well as getting access to telecommunications services across the country.

From what we are able to gather, if you are resident outside of Nigeria, you can apply for your NIN online or by going to any one of the approved enrolment centres.

You can download the application/enrolment form HERE.

We are yet to determine the address of the online payment portal or how to submit the enrolment form online. But listed below are the approved enrolment centres where you can register your NIN abroad.
