NIN Diaspora registration services are now available in 15 countries to enrol Nigerians living abroad for the mandatory National Identification Number (NIN), the nation’s ID agency says.
Nigerians and Diaspora Nigerians are locked in a race to beat the deadline ordered by Dr Isa Pantami, Communications and Digital Economy Minister for linking of their SIM and national ID records.
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) released the initial list of 15 countries including the UK, US, South Africa, where Nigerians can now get NIN Diaspora registration services.

The ID agency says it started the NIN Diaspora enrolment exercise in 2019 to capture “Nigerians living outside the country into the National Identity Database thereby ensuring they also benefit from the acquisition of their National Identification Numbers (NIN).”
According to NIMC, NIN “is a number unique to the person it is issued
to. It is an 11digit number randomly generated on the successful enrolment of a person. The NIN is not temporary, it is permanent. It does not expire. It is the identity of the person issued for life and only rested on the death of the person. It is not transferable because it is tied to the biometrics of the person it is issued to.”
NIMC says it has licensed the underlisted organisations to work with their respective partners across Africa, Asia, Europe, and America to carry out the enrolment of Nigerian adults and children in the diaspora into the National Identity Database:
