The Federal Government on Sunday announced that Nigerians
applying to change their date of birth on the National Identification Number
(NIN) database will now be required to provide an electronic civil registration
and vital statistics system, e-CRVS certificate from the National Population Commission,
NPC.
The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, disclosed
this in new guidelines for date of birth change released through its X handle.
In addition to the birthday certificate requirement, the
Commission said copies of other valid documents, such as identification and
application letter for modification, will now be addressed to the Commission’s
Director General.
Recall that before the new guideline, only an affidavit and
the payment of N15,000 are required to modify age and other modifications on
the NIN system.
According to the Commission, with the new guidelines, date
of birth modification can only be done once in a lifetime and only at NIMC
enrolment centres.
It warned that its licensed agents are not allowed to modify
dates of birth and other forms of change.
The development comes barely a week after telecommunications
operators in Nigeria announced February 28, 2024, as the deadline to disconnect
Subscriber Identification Modules, SIMs, not connected to the National Identity
Number.
