Description
Introducing Mobile Web Services (MWS), a new suite of Personal Identity tokens and services, developed, administered and managed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
This MobileID Application is issued by the NIMC on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and serves as a valid means of Identification anywhere a Nigerian (or legal resident) is required to present an ID Token.
It MUST however, always be verified for the transaction to be complete.
The NIMC is also improving the design of the National Identification Number (NIN) Slip, which may also be verified using this App.
The NIMC will collaborate with sister agencies such as the FIRS, FRSC, JAMB, NAFDAC, NHIS and any other Federal or State Government that wishes to provide eServices to citizens via a secure platform.
Using this platform, the MWS Mobile Ecosystem means that the Government can instantly reach out to tens of millions of citizens anywhere in the world.
If you have been issued a National Identification Number (NIN) by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), you are welcome to download this application to use as a complement to, or in place of the physical National Identity Card.
This app may serve as a replacement for a physical Polycarbonate Card, since it also a State-of-the-Art General-Multipurpose resource.
We are here to serve you and welcome your feedback.
Please DO NOT attempt to use a fake Mobile Number or Bank Verification Number (BVN) to register. A NIN is issued by the Federal Government, BVN is not!
This version supports iPads.
Welcome Aboard!

Ratings and Reviews
Great concept, poor management
The concept is excellent, process seamless but closure extremely excruciating. I’ve tried over 6 times to get user ID and OTP. SMS came only twice and registration failed. It’s a clear indication there is no accountability on the part of the developers or the project was designed to fail. SAD!!!! UPDATE It requires a lot of patience. Problem includes delayed generation of OTP by TELCOS. Try at night or randomly. Got mine about 5pm. I’ve changed rating to three because there seems to be complacency in resolving issues.
Not working
Tried to register but not working at all, why is it that this country can’t make anything work?
Say Less, Do More.
A lot has been promised but it has been glitch after glitch and in many cases stone walled especially for those of us abroad. We cannot verify our NIN because the OTP is not set up to accommodate foreign numbers. Now this update came today promising verification via WhatsApp and yet nothing worked. Also, I hope the NIMC are aware that WhatsApp is a foreign owned private business. They claimed to be end-to-end encrypted but are they? Their primary loyalty is to their home country and government. Please do the needful and let those in the diaspora be able to verify their NIN on the app like those at home. We paid to register and some of us do have significant business interests back home that require us to be verified.
