  1. Is the ID with the one with front and back! Because am only seeing the front in the Nimc app. I want to know before I proceed to pay

  2. The phone number I used while doind the registration has been lost, how can I link up another phone number? I’m using MTN

  3. Thanks for the information 🙌🙌. Instead of spending 4k to do it out side. I can do it myself. With less amount.
    ID card printing is 500.
    And the premium subscription is 1200..
    That’s 1700 total..

    • Don’t bother to use it bro, the people behind this app are scammers or I should say they are extended arm of corruption in Nigeria government since they are supposedly working for gov, I had just lost 1236 naira to them, after I paid the app refused to validate my payment and when I tried to email their support they responded with deafening silence, same story is the review you will read on their app in playstore, my advice to those in Nigeria is to go to any plastic ID printing store to get it done

  4. Pls I want to modify my date of birth is it allow or acceptable? And is it going to be vary in all others aspects abi not ?
    That’s all my questions……
