The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) wishes to inform you that at no point should you write or give your Bank Verification Number (BVN) to anyone during the process of enrolling for the issuance of the National Identification Number (NIN).

You are only required to type your BVN on the enrolment system or dictate it to the enrolment officer for verification purpose.

Please ensure you adhere to this instruction to avoid the use of your BVN by unscrupulous person(s).

NIMC considers the protection of NIN applicants’ data and information as a topmost security priority. The Commission would continue to uphold the highest ethical standards in the process of NIN enrollment and other services.

Thank you as we strive to serve you better.
