National Identification Number (NIN) Registration
Complete NIN enrolment and modification services for Nigerians living in the United Kingdom. Authorised by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
What is the National Identification Number?
The National Identification Number (NIN) is a unique 11-digit number issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) of Nigeria. It serves as your universal digital identity across all government and private sector services in Nigeria.
Your NIN is required for SIM card registration, opening bank accounts, applying for or renewing your Nigerian passport, voter registration, tax filing, and accessing numerous other essential services. Without it, you may face significant difficulties conducting business or accessing services in Nigeria.
- Unique 11-digit identifier for life
- Required for all banking transactions
- Mandatory for SIM registration
- Needed for passport applications
- Essential for voter registration

Do You Need BVN or NRBVN?
Many Nigerians in the UK confuse BVN with NRBVN. Choosing the wrong one leads to failed registrations and rejected applications. Here is the clear difference.
Key Takeaway
If you live in the UK, NRBVN is the correct service for you. Standard BVN is only for residents inside Nigeria. Applying for the wrong one leads to rejected applications and compliance issues. AFRICARGO specialises in NRBVN registration for diaspora Nigerians.
