The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced a revision of fees for all its services, including data modification related to the National Identification Number (NIN). The new charges are set to take effect from Friday, May 2, 2025.

According to a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by Kayode Adegoke, NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, the updated pricing structure marks the first comprehensive fee review in over a decade. The revised charges will be published on the commission’s official website at www.nimc.gov.ng.

Adegoke explained that the review reflects the need to align with rising operational costs and prevailing industry standards while ensuring services remain accessible and affordable to all Nigerians.

“The revised fees are aimed at preserving the quality and integrity of our services. We remain committed to transparent, fair pricing that supports secure and reliable identity solutions for the public,” the statement read.

As part of its enforcement measures, NIMC has directed all licensed Front-End Partners (FEPs) to strictly comply with the new rates. The commission warned that failure to do so could result in serious consequences, including license revocation.

To aid enforcement and ensure accountability, NIMC urged the public to report any FEPs found charging beyond the approved rates. Reports can be submitted via email to ieu@nimc.gov.ng or by calling 0815 501 5388.

In a related development, NIMC Director General Abisoye Coker-Odusote expressed sincere appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering support in strengthening the National Identity Database. She also acknowledged the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and other key stakeholders for their contributions toward a robust and sustainable identity management system.

The commission reaffirmed its dedication to delivering dependable, secure, and efficient identity services to all Nigerians.
