JUST IN: NIMC Raises Fees For NIN Corrections

The National Identity Management Commission has revised its service charges, increasing the fee for date of birth correction on NIN records to N28,750.

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced updated fees for changes to personal information on the National Identification Number (NIN) system.

One of the most notable changes is the cost of correcting a date of birth. This now costs N28,750, a steep increase of about 75% from the previous N16,340 charge.

Modifications to other personal details—like names or addresses—now attract a fee of N2,000 per change. Previously, these were charged at N1,522, marking a 31% increase.

Although registering for a NIN and receiving the first slip remains free, requesting a reprint now costs N600 instead of N500. For those using the Premium enrollment service, which is available at select lounges, embassies, and by pre-booking, enrollment now costs N20,000. VIP reprints are priced at N3,500.

For Nigerians living in other African countries, new adult enrollments now cost $50, while the fee for children is $30. Reprints are available for $6. To correct a date of birth, it will now cost $55, while changes to any other detail cost $10.

For Nigerians living outside Africa, correcting a name now costs \$60. Changes to other details still carry a \$10 fee.

Explaining the reason for the price adjustment, the Commission said:
“Following due consultation with all departments and in consideration of the above and current market realities of inflation at 32.70%, we propose an upward review in the fees and charges for our product and services with a markup at least 20% across with exceptions to certain services per their peculiarities.”

NIMC added that this new pricing model was influenced by several factors, including efforts to boost government revenue, support tax unification, expand social interventions, and manage the growing range of services the Commission now offers

It also stated that comparisons were made with similar services offered by other government agencies such as passport and driver’s license departments, to ensure pricing was consistent. The Commission emphasized the need to maintain infrastructure and become self-sustaining while still serving the public interest.
