In line with this, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) adopt the use of NIN Authentication for verification and authentication purposes.
According to NIMC, the new “NIN Authentication (NINAuth)” is a cutting-edge suite of services, including web, API, and mobile verification tools, designed to enhance data security, protect individual privacy, and simplify access to government services. The initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasizes strengthening Nigeria’s National Identity Management System.
Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head of Corporate Communications at NIMC, said the NINAuth application is the official channel for integration with the Commission’s backend infrastructure.
“It introduces a robust layer of protection, empowering individuals with greater control over their personal information,” Dr. Adegoke said in a statement released Tuesday in Abuja.
“By requiring explicit consent before data is shared for Know Your Customer (KYC) processes or other verifications, the platform fosters trust, transparency, and user autonomy in digital identity management.”
With NINAuth, users can securely verify their identity and access a range of government services such as SIM registration and replacement, immigration and passport processing, tax filings, financial transactions, government intervention programs, driver’s license renewals, and other regulatory processes.
“This innovation reaffirms NIMC’s commitment to advancing secure and efficient digital identity management, ensuring a more accessible, transparent, and secure identity verification system in Nigeria,” Dr. Adegoke added.
He urged Nigerians to download the NINAuth App from the Google Play Store or Apple iOS App Store to access the service. Implementation guidelines and the process flow are available at https://ninauth.nimc.gov.ng.
