Here are some useful tips on linking your NIN
to your SIM registration records.
Forgotten your NIN?
You can dial *346# on your phone to
retrieve your NIN.
Alternatively, you can visit any NIMC
office close to you.
** Note - Your NIN is stored
electronically within the chip on your
National e-ID card and can only be
accessed using an authorised card
reader. The number printed on your
card is NOT your NIN, it is the
Primary Account Number (PAN) used
for accessing your card's payment
feature once activated. **
