NIMC Hikes NIN Data Correction Fees, Nigerians to Pay N28,574 for Date of Birth Updates

Nigerians seeking to correct their date of birth on the National Identification Number (NIN) database will now pay N28,574, following a significant upward review of service fees by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). The new charge, up from N16,340, reflects a 75% increase and is now the most expensive data modification service under the agency’s updated pricing framework.

The revision is part of a broader overhaul of NIMC’s service fees aimed at aligning with current economic realities, including Nigeria’s 32.70% inflation rate, surging operational costs, and the agency’s drive for self-sustenance.

Other adjustments under the new structure include a 31% rise in the cost of modifying personal details such as name, gender, and address, now set at N2,000 per field—up from N1,522. Re-issuance of the NIN slip has also increased to N600 from N500.

Premium services at select enrollment lounges and visa application centers will now cost N20,000 for NIN registration and N3,500 for slip reissuance.

For Nigerians abroad, the charges have also been revised. Those in African countries will now pay $50 for adult NIN enrollment and $30 for children. Date of birth modifications in Africa now cost $55, while other fields attract a $10 fee. Outside the continent, name corrections are pegged at $60, with other modifications remaining at $10 per change.

NIMC said in an executive summary that the new fees were set after internal consultations and benchmarking with similar charges imposed by other government agencies like the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Federal Road Safety Corps.

“For over a decade, our service charges remained stagnant despite expanding our infrastructure and service offerings. This new price regime ensures we can maintain our systems, support national revenue goals, and align with global identity management standards,” the Commission explained.

NIMC also emphasized its role in advancing national policy objectives, including digital identity expansion, tax unification, and social intervention programs.

However, the increase has drawn concern from the public, particularly over the high cost of correcting date of birth errors—many of which are attributed to data entry mistakes during initial registration, especially in underserved or congested enrollment centers.
