There is a new method for the National Identity Card Enrolment in Nigeria, according to the Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON).

Instead of joining the millions of prospective applicants at the offices of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), you visit any of the four major telecom providers.

To ease the process of enrolment, we published the list of NIMC agents across the country a few days ago.

Telecom NIMC Agents Agents are:

  1. MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.
  2. Globacom Limited
  3. Airtel Network Limited

To enrol the National Identity Card, visit either MTN, GLO, Airtel, or 9Mobile branch closest to you. They among 173 private sector organisations licensed to handle the registration exercise.

They are expected to collate data and send to the NIMC headquarters

  • MTN: 83.3m [40.14%]
  • Airtel: 56.2m [27.08%]
