Telecommunications outfits in the country can now verify their subscribers’ National Identification Number (NIN) during new SIM registration, SIM swap, SIM migration and SIM Welcome Back services.
To this end, the National Identity Management Commission(NIMC) has migrated all telecommunications firms to NINAuth, a new NIN verification platform.
This marked a significant step forward in enhancing the security, efficiency, and user experience of NIN verification services.
The NINAuth platform, designed and implemented by NIMC, offers seamless verification services, giving Nigerians a more convenient and secure way to verify their identities.
By migrating to this new platform, telecommunications firms can now provide uninterrupted verification services to their subscribers.
This achievement, according to NIMC, is a result of NIMC’s painstaking efforts to put the power to control NIN data in the hands of the holders.
The NINAuth platform, NIMC stressed, enhances data protection, gives control of personal data to the owners, offers seamless verification, and provides convenient sign-on access to services.
NIMC’s Director, IT/IDD, Engr Lanre Yusuf confirmed that all telecommunications firms have been successfully migrated and uninterrupted verification services now being offered by NIMC.
The Commission assured the public that the verification and authentication service platform is functional and now accessible to all subscribers.
However, NIMC directed subscribers to direct issues on New SIM registration, SIM swap, SIM migration, Welcome back SIM, and others to the telcos for immediate resolution.
Engr Yusuf added that this feat demonstrates NIMC’s commitment to providing secure, efficient, and user-friendly digital identity services to Nigerians.
