The Federal
Government has since set up registration centers across all the states of the
Federation for every citizens that have attained the rightful age of 16 to go
and register for the new National Identity Card, a project taking place under
the umbrella of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
Statistic
have it that out of over 120million eligible Nigerians, 70% are yet to register
and countless others that have registered are yet to receive the original copy
of their National Identity Card. Again many don’t know where the NIMC centers
are in their location. It is important to enroll first and join the queue of
those waiting for the original copy to come out than not registering at all.
It is with
these views that we now decided to take the burden upon ourselves to provide a
clear cut way on how you can go about your registration processes without
stress.
What is the Importance of the National
Identity Card?
As a citizen of the country that
have attained the rightful age, it is important that you are able to be
identified with your National Identity Card both at home and abroad. Again you
can also see the important roles your National Identity Card plays when trying
to open a new bank account or carry out some form of bank transactions,
registrations and application on both online and offline jobs or other forms of
official applications.
Rumor making the round is that the
new national identity card will remain a permanent card that might likely also
replace the voters’ card.
Again, there was a period
that the National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) were recruiting and
they called for aptitude test, we were informed that only those with their new
national identity card were allowed to take the exam under strict
supervision.
How
Can I register For the National Identity card?
1 .
It
is important to know the location(s) of the NIMC setup centers for your present
location. Go here to see all the centers and locate yours.
2 .
To
avoid delays at the centers, it is important you start up the pre-registration
online yourself by signing up at ninenrol and completing the 11 steps demographic
form and you should print out the last step which is your successful
completed pre-registration form and it contains your barcode. Note; you
should complete all 11 steps of your demographics in capital letters.
3 .
Next
is for you to take your completed pre-registration print out (barcode) together
with any of the following original form of identification; just one will be OK,
a driver’s license or your old national identity card or your voter’s card, or
your LGA identification(state of Origin). I repeat just any one will be OK and
All must be Original Copy.
4 .
When
you get to the NIMC enrolment center, present your print out together with any
of the above method of identification for your bio data capture; your height
will be measured at that point in cm, they will retrieve your pre-registration
data with the print out (barcode) you presented and they will scan any of the
original document or method that you used for identification and give it back
to you, your finger prints and face capture will be taken and you will be asked
to sign
5 .
After
that, you will be asked to wait and collect your 2 temporal national identity
slips. Normally when you are issued with the 2 slips, your original national
identity card should be due for collection in the next 2 months, but as
situations might have it, you might not receive it within that 2 months period
but have to wait further for more months for your card to be due for collection.
So if you have not registered, this is
a reminder and an opportunity for you to do so from now till the end of this
year, as failure to do so might lead to a very tedious method of registration
thereafter because maybe by next year the enrollment centers will cease to
exists and you then have to go through rigorous processes if you must register.
Act Now.
Note: Those
that live in Delta State, should take their pre-enrollment slip to Osubi
Airport Effurun, Warri. Walk straight inside and ask any of the Military Men
there and they will direct you where to go.
Don’t make the mistake to go there without registering
online cos you will have to wait for long before they will attend to you. I was attended to earlier enough because i registered online.
