Overview
What is Change of Date of Birth (NIN)?
If the date of birth on your National Identification Number (NIN) is wrong, banks, passport offices and exam bodies can hold up your application until it matches your other records. NIMC handles date-of-birth changes separately from other NIN modifications and charges its own fee for them.
Docufy prepares the request with your evidence. A vetted partner firm pays the NIMC fee, submits the change and follows it up, and you see every step on your phone. The price on this page includes the NIMC fee, so there is nothing to pay on Remita yourself.
Who needs this
Anyone whose NIN shows the wrong date of birth, especially people whose bank, BVN, passport or exam records do not match their NIN.
Requirements
What you'll need.
Have these ready. Snap papers with your phone camera. The form saves as you go, so you can leave and come back.
- Your current NIN and your old NIN slip.
- The date of birth on your NIN now, and the correct one.
- Under 18: your birth certificate.
- 18 or older: a declaration of age or birth certificate, and a Letter of Attestation from the National Population Commission (NPC) online attestation self-service.
- A change of more than 5 years: a signed letter to NIMC. These are not completed online, so you will need to attend a NIMC office.

Questions
Things people ask about change of date of birth (nin).
How much does a NIN date-of-birth change cost?
The price on this page is the full amount: the NIMC date-of-birth change fee, our service fee and VAT on our fee. You see it before you pay.
Where do I get the NPC attestation letter?
From the National Population Commission online attestation self-service. Applicants 18 and above need it for a date-of-birth change. Under 18, your birth certificate is enough.
Can I change my name and date of birth together?
File them separately: the date of birth here, and any other change as a NIN modification.
Do I need to visit a NIMC centre?
Not for a change of 5 years or less: the partner firm submits it, and you follow every step on your phone. A change of more than 5 years needs a signed letter to NIMC and cannot be completed online, so you will need to attend a NIMC office. The form asks you before you pay.
How long does it take?
This page shows the target time in business days before you start. NIMC sets the final pace, and you can follow every step on your phone.
