If bank or another institution ask for your NIN slip and your paper copy don lost, you fit get di document again without going enrolment centre just because of am. On 4 November NIMC share video to show people wey already get number how to download di slip free for their own phones.
Di number and di slip no be di same thing. National Identification Number na di special 11-digit number wey dem give person after enrolment. Di slip show di number wey dem don already give di holder. Downloading another copy no create new number, register person for di first time or change personal details.
For di demonstration, dem start with di commission mobile app, NINAuth. Di commission direct people go Android or Apple app store to get am. Inside di app, tap “Do More with NINAuth”. E go show menu wey get “NIN Slip”. Choose dat one to start to get di document.
Di commission say di holder go need to use face check to prove say na im. After di app verify di person, di download option go produce di official slip and di holder fit save am for im phone. To see di menu no be di last step. Verification dey before saving.
