The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), has announced the successful migration of all Telecommunications firms to the new National Identification Number (NIN) verification platform, NINAuth.
This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing the security, efficiency, and user experience of NIN verification services.
The NINAuth platform, designed and implemented by NIMC, offers seamless verification services, giving Nigerians a more convenient and secure way to verify their identities. By migrating to this new platform, Telecommunications firms can now provide uninterrupted verification services to their subscribers.
This achievement is a result of NIMC’s painstaking efforts to put the power to control NIN data in the hands of the holders. The NINAuth platform enhances data protection, gives control of personal data to the owners, offers seamless verification, and provides convenient sign-on access to services.
The Director, IT/IDD, NIMC, Engr. Lanre Yusuf, confirmed that all Telecommunications firms have been successfully migrated and uninterrupted verification services are being offered by the NIMC.
The Commission assured the general public that the Verification and Authentication Service platforms are functional and accessible to all. However, any issue being experienced by NIN Holders on New SIM registration, SIM swap, SIM migration, Welcome back SIM, and others should be directed to the Telcos for immediate resolution.
By achieving this milestone, NIMC continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing secure, efficient, and user-friendly digital identity services to Nigerians.
