Forgotten your NIN?

Alternatively, you can visit any NIMC office close to you.

** Note – Your NIN is stored electronically within the chip on your National e-ID card and can only be accessed using an authorised card reader. The number printed on your card is NOT your NIN, it is the Primary Account Number (PAN) used for accessing your card’s payment feature once activated. **
