NIMC launches Self-service portal, warns against identity theft

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has launched a self-service portal for Nigerians.

This initiative aims to ensure the security and integrity of the National Identification Number (NIN) data.
According to the agency, modifications to the NIN can only be made through the official NIMC self-service portal, which can be accessed at selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng.

In a press statement released on Monday and signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Dr Kayode Adegoke, the agency advised Nigerians against using unauthorized websites.
“Do not attempt to modify your NIN data on any unauthorized sites, as this may compromise your personal information and put you at risk of identity theft,” the Agency warned.

“By using the official NIMC self-service portal, you can be assured that your data is secure and protected. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of updating your information from anywhere, at any time.”
“For all NIN modification needs, please visit selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng. Your security and peace of mind are worth it.

“For further information and inquiries, you can visit the NIMC website at www.nimc.gov.ng, send an email to nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng, or call the customer care line at 070022556462.
