The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has officially set the fee for correcting the date of birth (DOB) on the National Identification Number (NIN) to ₦28,574.
This update is part of a revised service fee structure by the commission, which affects certain modifications to NIN records. Here's what you should know:
Key Details:
Service Affected: Correction of Date of Birth (DOB) on NIN.
New Fee: ₦28,574.
Reason for Change: To streamline services and possibly reduce frivolous or fraudulent changes, as well as to improve revenue generation for NIMC.
Payment Method: Payment is to be made via REMITA, the federal government’s payment gateway.
Other Modifications (for comparison):
Name, Address, Phone Number, etc.: May still attract lower fees depending on the change.
DOB changes are now considered critical and thus more expensive and possibly subjected to stricter validation.
Many Nigerians have expressed concern over the steep fee, especially considering how common errors can be due to past system issues or input mistakes.
