Sign in and choose the detail you want to change.
Enter the requested information and provide the supporting document for that change.
Pay the fee shown on the portal and keep the payment record.
Check every detail before sending the request, then follow the status from your dashboard.
Watch out
- NIMC says some fields cannot be changed. Check the current rules before paying.
- Use only NIMC's official website and keep your NIN and login details private.
Tips
- For a date-of-birth change, the portal asks for an NPC birth certificate or attestation number.
- Resolve a mismatch in your supporting document before starting the request.
Local variations
- The document you need depends on the detail being changed. For example, a name change and an address change use different proof.
