The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announced a upward review of its service fees.
The new service charges, which will be revealed, today, May 2, 2025, is the first adjustment in over ten years, as it seeks to align with current economic realities and sustain efficient service delivery.
Recall that the National Identity Number (NIN) Enrolment and Issuance of NIN Slip is offered free of charge as well as the national e-ID Card Issuance (first issuance).
However, NIN slip reprint attracts N500; Modification of Biodata (excluding Date of Birth): N500 per field; Modification of Date of Birth: N15,000 and third-party verification services, attracts N5,000.
The revised pricing structure, which takes effect immediately, will be published on NIMC’s official website on May 2, 2025. It applies to NIMC’s range of services and products, including those offered through its licensed Front-End Partners.
The Commission emphasised that while the fees have increased, the goal is to preserve service quality, maintain affordability, and ensure transparency.
NIMC, in a press statement, released on Thursday, warned all partners to strictly adhere to the newly approved rates, stressing that any Front-End Partner caught charging beyond the official prices will face severe penalties, including suspension or revocation of their license.
“We remain committed to providing secure, reliable, and fairly priced identity services for all Nigerians. We encourage the public to report any cases of overcharging to our Inspectorate and Enforcement Unit,” NIMC said in a statement.
