What’s the meaning of NIN? NIN simply means National Identity Numbers. It is a set of numbers assigned to an individual upon successful enrolment with the National Identity Management Commission NIMC.

It is used to match you with your biometric data and other details in the National Identity Database during verification and authentication.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that the 11-digit National Identification Number (NIN) is not the same thing as the National ID Card. The difference between NIN and National ID Card (now referred to as National e-ID Card) is that after the important 11-digit NIN has been obtained by an individual, a card comes next as an additional token. The National Electronic Identity Card (e-ID card) is a chip based card with multiple functions. The card is a token given upon successful enrolment or registration into the National Identity System.<\/p>\n
Unlike the National Identification Number (NIN) which is assignable to all Nigerians and Legal Residents without any age restrictions, the National e-ID Card can only be issued to Nigerians registered into the National Identity System and Legal Residents who have attained the age of 16 years and above.<\/p>\n
