Last updated on September 28th, 2022 at 08:20 am

Following the order of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) that all phone numbers must be linked to a unique 11-digit of National Identity Number (NIN), Airtel released a guide on how their customers can get it done without visiting any of their branch offices.

In this post, we’ll share how to link your NIN to your Airtel line in the comfort of your home. No stress!

The initial deadline for the exercise was December 30, 2020, but it was shifted to March 31, 2022. That privilege has elapsed and SIM cards that are not linked to NIN may be blocked very soon.

This means you have more time for yourself, but you don’t have to wait for rush hour, do it now.

If you misplaced your NIN slip, simply dial *346# to get your 11-digit unique number. If you don’t, check out the guide on how to register for NIN in Nigeria and check the nearest NIMC enrolment centres to you.
