Sign up your NIN with Airtel in a jiffy! Our step-by-step instructions for linking your NIN to your Airtel SIM card have you covered.
National Identification Number (NIN) is a unique 11-digit number that identifies you as a citizen or legal resident of Nigeria.
It comes from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) after you register with the National Identity Database (NIDB). It is used to verify and authenticate your identity for various transactions and services, such as banking, taxation, healthcare, education and travel.
The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has asked all telecommunications operators in the country to link the NIN of their subscribers to their telephone number.
This step is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen security, prevent fraud and harmonise data across the various sectors.
Airtel users should link their NIN to their Airtel line as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience or service interruption. Here are three easy ways to do this: via a USSD code, via the Airtel-NIN portal or via the NIMC Mobile ID application.

AIRTEL will also help the government to improve security, prevent fraud and harmonise data across different sectors.
Always remember to create and use your VNIN, which is a secure version of your NIN and protects it from cloning and duplication. For any questions or problems, you can contact Airtel customer service or visit your nearest Airtel service centre for assistance.
