How To Link Your NIN With Your SMILE Network

0

National Identification Number (NIN)  is a unique number given by the Nigerian government as a means of tracking its citizens, whether permanent and temporary residents for the purpose of work, taxation, healthcare, etc.

Therefore, Network providers in Nigeria have unveiled several ways through which their subscribers can link their SMILE with the National identification number (NIN)

This development came up after a recent declaration was made by Nigeria Communications Commission (NIN) stating that all SIM without (NIN) will be blocked from FEBRUARY 9TH 2021.

Enrolling requires recording of an individual’s demographic data and capture of the fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial picture, and digital signature.

At the completion of enrollment into the National Identity database, you will be assigned an eleven-digit number, which will be your NIN. After collecting your NIN, you link it to your phone numbers, your bank, your smile. SMILE provides super-fast data with reliable and high-quality services.

Be informed that the deadline for NIN registration is April 9th, 2021, so it’s important that you get your NIN before this date (if you don’t have it yet and link it up with your Smile and other SIM cards) so as to remain connected.
