Tinubu’s govt gives fresh update on national identity card modification
The federal government has issued a fresh update for modifications of the national identity cards issued to Nigerians through the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
This is even as NIMC has said that Nigerians applying to change their date of birth on the National Identification Number (NIN) database would henceforth be required to provide an electronic civil registration and vital statistics system (e-CRVS) certificate from the National Population Commission (NPC).
NIMC disclosed this in new guidelines for date of birth change in a tweet via its X handle.
In addition to the certificate, the commission said copies of other valid documents such as identification and application letter for modification will now be addressed to the Director General of NIMC.
Previously, only affidavits and the payment of N15, 000 were required for the modification of age and other modifications on the NIN system.
NIMC explained that with the new guidelines, date of birth modification could only be done once in a lifetime and only at NIMC enrolment centres.
The commission warned that its licensed agents are not allowed to do date of birth modification and other forms of modification.
NIMC, which was formerly under the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, was moved in September to the Ministry of Interior, headed by Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.
