NIMC announces new pricing for identity services

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has officially increased the prices of its products and services for the first time in over a decade, citing the need to align with current operational realities.

In a statement released on Thursday, Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head of NIMC’s Communication Unit, explained that the review was conducted to reflect rising operational costs and evolving industry standards.

According to Adegoke, the revised pricing structure is designed to sustain the quality and integrity of NIMC’s services while still keeping them affordable and accessible to Nigerians across the country.

The new rates take effect immediately, affecting services such as NIN enrollment, card issuance, and data modification, among others.

“NIMC warns all Front-End Partners (FEPs) to adhere strictly to the new pricing structure. Any FEP found charging more than the approved rates will face sanctions, including license revocation.
‘”NIMC is committed to protecting the interests of Nigerians and ensuring that our services are delivered at fair and transparent prices,’’ he said.

According to the NIMC spokesman, the new pricing structure will be published on NIMC’s website, www.nimc.gov.ng, where it can be accessed by all Nigerians and relevant stakeholders.

Adegoke said that NIMC reaffirmed its commitment to providing secure and reliable identity services to Nigerians.
He encouraged the public to report any FEP charging above the approved rates to the Commission’s Inspectorate and Enforcement Unit via ieu@nimc.gov.ng.
