NIMC Issues Important Information On NIN’s Self-Service Modification
By Bukar BOLORI
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has informed the general public of important guidelines on the access to the self-service modification portal of the National Identification Number (NIN).
The Commission in a statement by its spokesman, Dr. Kayode Adegoke on Thursday asked that applicants for the NIN Data Modification should note that for the Single Browser and Device Access, the self-service account is uniquely tied to the browser and device used during registration as such access to the account is therefore limited to that specific browser on that particular device.
Adegoke said to change the NIN record, the user must log in using the same browser and device originally used to register the account, stressing that any attempt to use a different browser or device may result in access issues.
He also warned that clearing the browser cache will reset the browser and may lock the account, noting that If this occurs, the account will require an unlinking process to regain access.
Adegoke said once a browser and device are locked, the users are permitted a maximum of five (5) unlock attempt requests, warning that no further requests will be processed after this limit is exceeded. He noted that:
“These are some of the measures put in place by the Commission to safeguard and protect the Identity of the users of the self-service modifications portal.”
“NIMC urges all users to carefully follow these guidelines to avoid unnecessary disruptions and delays. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as the Commission continue to safeguard your data and improve service delivery,” Adegoke said.
