How to register for the new National Identity Card at NIMC set up outlets

I don’t think it is still new news that the Federal Government has since set up registration centers across all the states of the Federation for every citizens that have attained the rightful age of 18 to go and register for the new National Identity Card; a project taking place under the umbrella of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

But it is news that out of over 120million eligible Nigerians, many are yet to register and countless others that have endeavoured to register are yet to receive the original copy of their National Identity Card. Again many don’t know where the NIMC centers are, in their location. It is important to enroll first and join the queue of those waiting for the original copy to come out than not registering at all.
How to register for the new National Identity Card on NIMC set up outlets

It is with these views that we now decided to take the burden upon ourselves to provide a clear cut way on how you can go about your registration processes without hassle.


Before we start, it is important to alert you on how important the registration exercises are.

As a citizen of the country that have attained the rightful age, it is important that you are able to be identified with your National Identity Card both at home and abroad. Again you can also see the important roles your National Identity Card plays when trying to open a new bank account or carry out some form of bank transactions, registrations and application on both online and offline jobs or other forms of official applications.

Rumour making the round is that the new national identity card will remain a permanent card that might likely also replace the voters’ card.


Again, there was a period that the National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) were recruiting and they called for aptitude test, we were informed that it was only those with their new national identity card were allowed to take the exam under strict supervision.

So the importance of the new national identity card registration cannot be overemphasized.

Now without blowing much grammar, let’s take you through on how you can go about the registration process for your new National Identity Card.


= =>First thing first, it is important to know the location(s) of the NIMC setup centers for your present location. To see all the centers and locate yours click here

= =>If you have known that, to avoid delays at the centers, it is important you start up the pre-registration online yourself by signing up at ninenrol and completing the 11 steps demographic form and you should print out the last step which is your successfully completed  pre-registration form and it contains your barcode. Note: you should complete all 11 steps of your demographics in CAPITAL LETTERS.

= =>Next is for you to take your completed pre-registration print out (barcode) together with any of the following original form of identification; just one will be OK, a driver’s license or your old national identity card or your voter’s card or a current school, NYSC, work ID card or your LGA identification or your birth certificate or a tax clearance document or insurance cover document. I repeat just any one will be OK.

= =>When you get to the NIMC enrolment center, present your print out together with any of the above method of identification for your bio data capture; your height will be measured at that point in cm, they will retrieve your pre-registration data with the print out (barcode) you presented and they will scan any of the original document or method that you used for identification and give it back to you, your finger prints and face capture will be taken and you will be asked to sign.

= =>After that, you will be asked to wait and collect your 2 temporal national identity slips. Normally when you are issued with the 2 slips, your original national identity card should be due for collection in the next 2 months, but as situations might have it, you might not receive it within that 2 months period but have to wait further for more months for your card to be due for collection.


So if you have not registered, this is a reminder and an opportunity for you to do so from now till the end of this year, as failure to do so might lead to a very tedious method of registration thereafter, because maybe by next year the enrollment centers will cease to exists and you then have to go through rigorous processes if you must register. The earlier the better

    1. Those that registered last year are supposed to get theirs before the end of this year, since the ID card was recently launched by the President. So before the end of the year, you should be getting it

  4. Why is it that there are not enough centres provided for this exercise? Register has become such a herculean task! I for one, am resident in kaduna state, sabon gari LGA, the centre closest to us is inside zaria city which is more like a sharia land, and that makes it quite challenging for Christians to go register, something had better be urgently done about this. Thanks in anticipation!

    1. Hi Mrs. Rita,

      Have you tried again and it is still showing that error? Because sometimes it could just be from their server at that very moment and it will come up in due time. You can let me know the situation now so I can put you through

  14. For all those saying that you have being trying to register but it is not going, what you should is to locate any NIMC outlet designated in the state you are residing for the full registration, since the online registration is only the preliminary stage, but just know that it might take better part of your time when you get there.

    And please don't pay anybody any money for the registration because it is totally free of charge

  19. But none of the site for where you check the centres near you or register online are going.am just stucked here and don't know where to start from

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes i am ok with the information, but the site to register or check available centres are not going, what can i do?

    ReplyDelete
  21. @ all, actually there is nothing wrong with those sites to register and check centers above, the only thing is that you need a secured private network to access them and I know most of you are using public connection and that is why you are unable to access those sites given above.

    What I will do is that I will upload the nationwide NIMC registration centres for you guys to have access to it, so I will notify you when I am done.

    But if you have a private network, you can access those sites and start your pre-registration as detailed above or you can check the designated NIMC outlet in your state of residence.

    1. There is barely nothing you can do about that now, you just have to wait till the day they will invite you for the collection of the permanent national ID card and you will go with any other ID card to identify yourself and pick your National ID since you have already registered.
