I have exactly the same issue as OP. I have
NIN when I dial *346# but I have never been to NIMC office before.

How do I confirm that this number is mine?

I can't link this number yet until I confirm it's truly mine. NIMC should have a portal where one can input a NIN and see detail (or basic details) of that number.

And why should I go and register in their office again if they generated this NIN from BVN database? Doesn't BVN have our biometrics?

Yes, BVN have your biometrics, fingerprint and face.

The sim they recycled

It's a recycled sim,
Someone use the sim for nin registration before it was lost by the person.
I have someone facing the same issue now, he lost the number he used for nin registration, and now the sim has been recycled by the network provider someone else is using the sim now

Who even authorized the Harmonisation of NIN and Voters-Card data??
Was it NIMC? or INEC?? or Which Government Body Exactly??

My friend you need to understand that harmonization of citizen data started around 2016 and its chaired by the vice president

If you dailed *346# and it returned a nin for you despite the fact that you have not enrolled at any nimc office, it means the harmonization execrise has gotten to your own BVN number and thus a nin is already generated for you(mind you this nin is not yet active on the nimc database until you go for the registration for synchronization of your biometrics)
For the sake of this phone number linking, you can use the NIN number generated with code while you make effort to register at nimc office to properly activate the NIN number..

This is all I had been trying to get all these while..
Thank You So Much For Explaining Things Very Well For Me.
..
So, I should not be in a rush for now.
And also, I should relax and be rest assured that the NIN is mine After-all.

Yes the NIN is already yours.. It is still the same number that will be activated when you eventually visit any nimc office..link your phones numbers to the generated NIN.. I will however ask you to try and register as soon as possible cos this is Nigeria and they can crazily come up with any stupid excuse tomorrow..

Meanwhile,, neither the NIMC or the CBN had come out to authenticate this claim..
..
SO, I WILL BLATANTLY REFUSE TO BUY IT..
..
I will continue to see it as an error, and as a breach of the NIMC’s Database, until both the NIMC and CBN come out to accept that such a thing actually happened.. And they should also tell us the way forward.
op is using a recycled sim

Linking of NIN is not my issue..
I have done that with the fake NIN they gave me..
...
Mista-man,, read to understand things before dropping off-point comments..
my brother dont mind Nigerians, most are educated illiterate. You have a very valid point.


What NIMC needs to do now is to open a temporary portal where people can enter their NIN to verify the name to be sure it is theirs. simple solution

My friend pls try and register as soon as possible cos without registration bank won't be able to confirm your identity on the nimc database cos as it stands now, your nin is passive not active, also you won't be able to have an international passport, driver's license and others social services..

You're not serious yet. Use a 3rd party website that connects to the NIMC api
and you'll see the picture of whomsoever owns the NIN glaring back at you.

I verified mine and the picture is correct with the exact clothe i was putting on the same day i registered

Paid site. Rubbish

it can be annoying, the guy is.right. many people will dial that NIN ussd code and get NIN that does not belong to them and go ahead and use it to link their phone numbers. what if the phone number is a recycled phone number you just bought that was previously used by another Nigerian to register for NIN?


There will be a lot of data confusion and identity mismatch.


NIMC need to open a temporary portal for people to verify the name and date of birth and gender on their NIN corresponds with their real biodata, if not na suicide mission NIMC de go so

And with the way network provider are recycling phone numbers, you might summit someone NIN without knowing that it's not yours

elpochas:
i did mine in 2014,if you registered that year then u automatically have the NIN.So no cause for alarm.

This is wrong. Nobody is automatically being assigned an NIN number.

The most plausible reason is that you have a recycled number and the former owner registered NIN with it.

Again, no authority have officially confirmed that they harmonised any data whether from BVN or voters card.

I have never in my life registered for this NIN stuff.
I mean, I haven't done the NIN registration at any point in time before.
But I was surprised to get a NIN number when I dailed *346#.
..
How do I verify directly from the NIMC, that the NIN number I got is mine?
..
Note:
I wouldn't want to verify the NIN number from any third-party website.... I would like to verify it directly from the NIMC, or directly from the NIMC Official Website.


The line u supposedly dial belong to someone and the person did register for NIMC..
since u purchased the line and have been using it. every info on the line register for NIMC belongs to the original owner. now this is where our govt lack foresight. some lines were register for NIMC n maybe the owners are dead or sim stolen but the sims and the owners didn't retrieve the sims and they were sold to another person after few months. The nin on the line still belongs to the original owner..
so u can see where there ill be issues.. a whole lot of issues..

If you bought your sim within the last 2 years it's mean the NiN belongs to someone else who owns the number previously if u didn't register for NiN then it's no yours
