How To Register For Your National Identification Number (NIN) And Get Your e-ID Card

The National Identification Number (NIN) is a set of numbers assigned to an individual upon successful enrolment. Enrolment consists of the recording of an individual’s demographic data and capture of the ten (10) fingerprints, head-to shoulder facial picture and digital signature, which are all used to cross-check existing data in the National Identity Database to confirm that there is no previous entry of the same data. 

Once this (de-duplication) process is completed the data is then stored with a unique NIN that was assigned to it.

Every citizen from the age of 16 years and above and legal residents are eligible to enroll for the National Identification Number (NIN).
