The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has rolled out a pre-enrolment portal aimed at improving efficiency and user experience in the National Identification Number (NIN) registration process.
The development was announced on Friday by NIMC spokesperson, Kayode Adegoke, in a statement.
According to the commission, the Pre-Enrolment Portal allows applicants within Nigeria and in the Diaspora to capture and submit their biodata online ahead of physical visits to enrolment centres for biometric capture. The initiative is designed to reduce overcrowding and long waiting times at registration centres nationwide.
NIMC noted that the portal reflects the commitment of the Director-General, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, to enhance institutional performance through technology-driven solutions, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasizes efficient public service delivery, digital transformation, and inclusive development.
Key benefits of the portal include simplified online biodata submission, reduced congestion through appointment scheduling, improved data accuracy, secure handling of personal information, seamless upload of supporting documents, and faster, more efficient service delivery.
NIMC urged all prospective applicants to take advantage of the Pre-Enrolment Portal, describing it as a major step toward building a reliable and sustainable digital identity ecosystem to support national development.
