NIMC Diaspora Enrolment Extends to the United States of America

In continuation of enrolment of Nigerians in Diaspora into the National Identity Database, The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has extended the programme to the United States of America.

The Diaspora Enrolment programme is currently going on in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

According to NIMC, the NIN enrolment exercise which will involve the demographic & biometrics data capture of all Nigerian citizens residing in the USA, is in collaboration with Thebez Global Resources Ltd, Defcon Systems Limited and National eAuthentication Limited (NeAL), Nigerian Companies licensed by the NIMC to serve as its agents, and carry out enrolment services across the globe with a view to ensuring best-in-class services and inclusivity.

The Director General/CEO of NIMC, Engr. Aliyu Aziz reiterated that the extension is in line with NIMC’s mandate to ensure that all Nigerian citizens in Nigeria, those in the Diaspora and Legal Residents in Nigeria are enrolled into the National Identity Database and issued the unique National Identification Number (NIN) to applicants upon successful enrolment.

“The programme will make it easier for Nigerians in Diaspora to be identified, as the Federal Government of Nigeria has made the possession of NIN a mandatory requirement for elections, Bank account opening, Land Transactions, access to Legal/health services, acquisition/renewal of the International Passport, Driver’s License and the ECOWAS travel document, amongst others.” Engr. Aziz stated.
