3 Simple Steps to Get Your NIN Sorted from the US

Jul 18, 2025BRYAN UYA


For Nigerians living in the US, obtaining your National Identification Number (NIN) is crucial for identity verification across Nigerian government and private services. Here’s a clear, detailed 3-step guide including all important websites to help you complete your NIN registration easily.

Step 1: Start Your Online Pre-Enrolment

·         Visit the official NIMC pre-enrolment portal: nimc.gov.ng

·         Click on “Pre-Enrolment Portal” and complete the online registration form with your personal details.

·         If you have a Bank Verification Number (BVN), use it to speed up verification.

·         After submission, download and print your Pre-Enrolment Slip. This slip contains a 2D barcode and tracking ID that you MUST bring to your enrolment appointment.

This pre-enrolment is free and ensures that your basic data is captured ahead of biometric registration.

·         From the NIMC’s official diaspora enrolment page, find the nearest accredited enrolment centre for Nigerians in the US. See details here: NIMC Diaspora Enrolment

·         Book your appointment if required (some centres offer walk-ins but booking ensures faster service).

·         Bring the following with you:

o    Printed Pre-Enrolment Slip

o    Valid Nigerian identification documents such as:

§  Nigerian international passport

§  Birth certificate

§  Voter’s card

§  Driver’s license

o    Any other documents specified by the centre

·         At the centre, officials will:

o    Verify your documents

o    Capture your biometrics: fingerprints, facial photograph, and digital signature

o    Have you fill out or confirm an enrolment form (you can download and print this form here: NIMC enrolment form PDF)

·         After enrolment, you will receive a transaction slip confirming completion and informing you when and where to collect your NIN slip.

·         You can also print your NIN slip digitally via the NIMC portal (myportal.nimc.gov.ng) or the NIMC mobile app (NIMC MWS Mobile ID App).

·         Note that while initial registration is free, there may be a small fee for physical card or slip printing.

I am telling you today that Dr ahonsie cure HSV 2 with his herbal medicine and once you get cured you are cured forever it is never reversible, I have been suffering for this deadly disease called h HSV 2 for more than a 2years and lost all hope because my doctor says there is no cure for HSV 2. Brethren I saw a testimony on the internet on how Dr ahonsie cure HSV, Hapatitis etc with his herbal medication and an email and watsapp to contact him was also displayed, I thought this was joke but I decided to contact him and he replied telling me not to worry that my problem is over . Dr ahonsie sent me a herbal medication to drink for one month but only 2weeks I feel strange and I went to my doctor and he confirmed me negative. He can help you too.
