With digital identity becoming a crucial tool for accessing government and financial services in Nigeria, more Nigerians are actively seeking National Identity Number (NIN) enrolment. But many still ask: “Where can I register for NIN in my state?”
Thankfully, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has expanded its reach by establishing enrolment centres across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). These centres include permanent state offices and various decentralised agents and partners spread across LGAs.
Is NIN Registration Still Open?
Yes, NIN registration is a continuous process. The NIMC has not declared any official closing date for new enrolments. The directive to link NIN with SIM cards spurred millions of Nigerians to register, but NIMC continues enrolling citizens as Nigeria’s population grows.
As of early 2025, over 105 million Nigerians have been enrolled in the national identity database, with NIMC aiming to onboard all citizens and legal residents
How Can I Contact a NIMC Office Near Me?
Whether you need to register for a new NIN, correct personal details, or pick up your national identity card, the official NIMC state offices remain your best bet for accurate services.
