Nigerians will start paying a new fee of N1,000 for National Identity Number (NIN) integration and verification as from the 1st of April 2023, according to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

The NIMC spokesman, Kayode Adegoke, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday.

“The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) wishes to inform the general public that it has devised and agreed on a framework with the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to significantly improve the quality of service, accuracy and speed of passport services through the timely verification of the National Identification Number (NIN),” Adegoke said.
