How to change your name, date of birth, and others on NIMC mobile app without leaving your home
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has introduced an easy method for Nigerians to modify or update their information on the National Identification Number (NIN) platform.

Also, apart from its requirement for SIM usage, NIN is also needed for all banking transactions in the country, which requires identity verification and several other things, according to NIMC.
