Step by step guide on how to download NIN slip using NIMC app
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has explained how Nigerians can download their National Identification Number (NIN) slips online for free using its NINAuth mobile application.
The commission shared the process in a video posted on its official X account on Wednesday, showing NIN holders how to obtain the document without visiting enrolment centres or paying third-party agents.
According to NIMC, Nigerians can access and download their NIN slips by following the steps outlined below:
According to the commission, successful authentication would allow users to download and save their official NIN slips directly to their mobile phones.
“Once verified, click on ‘Download NIN Slip’ to generate and save the official NIMC-issued NIN slip into your mobile phone,” it said.
Describing the process as convenient and secure, the commission said the service was free and required only a few steps to complete.
“It is that simple, it is free, available, and a few taps away. Get yours today,” NIMC added.
The commission said the process was designed to make obtaining the document easier while reducing the need for physical visits to its offices.

NIMC launched the NINAuth platform in October 2025 to let Nigerians control who accesses their personal data across government, banking, telecoms, and education services.
In June 2026, the commission announced that NIN holders could download their official NIN slips directly through the application at no cost.
According to information published on the NINAuth website, the downloaded slip is the same official document issued by NIMC and can be used at banks, government offices and other institutions where it is required.
The National Identification Number is an 11-digit unique number issued to Nigerians and legal residents following successful enrolment. It serves as a means of establishing and verifying an individual’s identity and is used to link personal records to the National Identity Database.
To obtain a NIN, an individual must visit an NIMC enrolment centre, complete the registration process, provide the required demographic information and undergo biometric capture, including fingerprint and facial scans, before being issued an 11-digit identification number.
