How to apply for the New National ID card

The new national id card is also called the NIMC card. NIMC is an acronym for National Identification Management Commission. This commission is in charge of issuing the new National ID card to Nigerians.

There are two ways to apply for the NIMC card. You can pre-register online here or you walk to any NIMC registration center to register.

  • Old National ID card.
  • Valid Driver’s license.
  • Valid International Passport.
  • Voter’s ID card (PVC).
  • Birth certificate/declaration of age.
