Validation Catergory
These individuals have a National Identification Number (NIN), but their NIN cannot be found in the NIMC (National Identity Management Commission) verification server. Neither government agencies nor private sector organizations can access their data for verification purposes.
This option is chosen when the NIN has been previously validated or is already present in the NIMC verification server, but changes have been made to the NIN data. These changes can include corrections to the name, mobile number, or date of birth. Therefore, you wish to update or overwrite the previous information with the new data.
This option is intended for individuals whose telecommunication providers, such as MTN, Glo, Airtel, or 9mobile, are unable to generate a virtual NIN for SIM registration or retrieval purposes based on their NIN.
In this scenario, your NIN has been validated and you are attempting to retrieve an existing line or purchase a new one. However, the photograph captured during the registration process does not correspond to the one associated with your NIN or stored in the NIMC database. This discrepancy results in a photograph error.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Validation alone may sometime not resolve photograph error. The best approach is to recapture the person with the NIN, to ensure the photo is updated before validation process.
This refers to a NIN number that has been obtained or modified without following the proper registration procedure established by NIMC. This may involve skipping the fingerprint verification process or the absence of the authorized enroller during registration. It is important to note that we do not validate bypassed NINs. Therefore, submitting a bypassed NIN on our platform would result in a loss of funds, as refunds cannot be provided.
Validation Response
Our validation process typically takes 48 hours on working days. However, in some cases where unforeseen circumstances arise, it may take up to 72 hours to complete. Please note that weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are excluded from the processing time, which means that validation requests submitted during weekends will be processed on the next working day. This also applies to public holidays, as they are considered non-working days.

- BVN NIN: This status indicates that the NIN provided is generated from Bank Verification Number (BVN). And it can't be validated until modification is done on the NIN to be active for validation, the response will give the BVN number after BVN0
- byPass NIN: This status indicates that the NIN has been obtained or modified without following the proper registration procedure, resulting in a bypassed NIN hence it can't be validated here

InProcessing Error
An Inprocessing Error occurs when an NIN is not generated, and this can be attributed to a few possible causes. One common reason is that the individual has already enrolled before, which often leads to this issue. Another possibility is that there were errors in data capture, such as insufficient fingerprint data or invalid parent information. In such cases, we will review the situation and provide you with the necessary information or a tracking ID to address the error.
Enrollment is still in process if certain details were missing during the NIN registration, particularly the height information. In such cases, you won't be able to print the NIN slip. Instead, we will provide you with the assigned NIN so that you can make the necessary modifications to include the missing information. And the NIN slip will be ready to print in the New trackinfg ID for the modification
This option is selected when the enroller has previously completed NIN registration but is unable to provide the necessary information to search for it in the NIMC database. In such situations, a new enrollment is conducted in order to trace back the old record. It is important to always provide the oldest tracking ID available, as we will assign the next one in a backward sequence.
- Awaiting: This response indicates that we are still processing the request and working on resolving the issue.
- Completed: This response signifies that the IPE request has been successfully resolved.
- In the response field, we will provide you with the older tracking ID that is potentially blocking the enrollment associated with the provided NIN number.
- If the provided tracking ID still shows an inprocessing error, it suggests that multiple registrations have been conducted by the individual. In such cases, you need to send the response back for another IPE process.
- NIN generated during the clear (CLR): If the response indicates that the NIN was generated during the clear process, We will make it (CLR).
- If you receive a response of "HIT," it means that the tracking ID provided has multiple records associated with it. In such instances, it is necessary to clear and submit the IPE request again. To proceed with the HIT response, please contact the admin for further instructions to ensure the person has a valid NIN.
- It is important to carefully review the response and follow the instructions provided for the appropriate course of action.
