It was earlier stated by JAMB’s board that the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration will only be possible for candidates that have registered and obtained their NINs. Read Full News. This means that any candidate who has not registered for NIN will not be allowed to register for UTME.

In view of this, it is important for candidates to know more about the NIN registration process and guidelines in obtaining it before the 2020 UTME registration begins. 2020 UTME Candidates are equally advised to start preparing for their exams using the JAMB CBT software and JAMB CBT app (visit examprep.ng)

Definition

What is NIN? – NIN simply means National Identification Number. It consists of 11 numbers randomly chosen and uniquely assigned to an individual after the completion of enrollment into the National Identity Database (NIDB).

The NIN is used to tie all records about an individual in the database and is also used to establish or verify his/her identity. All citizens and legal residents in Nigeria, from age zero (birth) and above are eligible to enrol for their NINs.

• Old National ID Card

Registration at an Enrollment Center:

The whole process of registration can be carried out at an enrollment center. However, to limit the amount of time you will spend at the enrollment center, you can complete the first step of the registration online at https://penrol.nimc.gov.ng/ . Print out the Barcode registration slip and proceed to an enrollment center to complete the rest of the registration steps.

Guidelines

• Applicants are to walk into the enrollment Center with a supporting document.
• Applicant will be verified to ascertain if he/she has ever enrolled using the NIN verification portal.
• Applicant will be issued an enrollment form to fill if he/she has not enrolled before. OR the printed Barcode slip (for those who applied online) will be collected if the applicant had pre-enrolled earlier using the pre-enrollment service.
• Applicant’s forms will be vetted by a NIMC Official to crosscheck the information filled on the form against the supporting document provided and to check for errors/mistake filled on the form. Note: applicants who cannot read nor write should be accompanied by a literate individual who can do the form filling for him/her.
• Applicant’s pre-filled information will be inputted on the NIMC Software by a NIMC enrollment officer or the Barcode slip will be scanned by the NIMC enrollment officer to populate all the required field.
• The enrollment officer will ask the applicant to double check his/her information for errors using the applicant monitor.
• If the applicant is satisfied with his/her demographic information, the biometrics (ten finger prints and facial image) of the applicant will be capture subsequently.
• After completing the enrollment, a Transaction ID Slip will be issued to the applicant as an evidence of the transaction. However, the Transaction slip does not confer the right to National Identification Number. The applicant will be requested to come back for the NIN within 1-5 working days, as it is subjected to availability of network, authentication and verification.
• A National Identification Number (NIN) Slip is issued to the applicants after processing.
• The National e-ID Card will be issued to applicant within 12 months after Issuance of NIN barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Service Fee: FREE

Availability: Monday – Friday (8a.m. to 4 p.m.)

Please Note:

• Minor applicants (0-15 years of age) should be accompanied by parents / guardians and can do the form filling for them.
• Minor applicants should only bring original and valid birth certificate and NIN slip of one of the Nigerian Parent / Guardian.
• The National e-ID Card will not be issued to minors until they become 16 years of age and above.
