The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announced that the upcoming national ID cards will be distributed to applicants through their banks.
NIMC is collaborating with the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) to ensure the smooth delivery of the cards to applicants.
“The card will be issued through the applicants’ respective banks in line with existing protocols with the issuance of the Debit/Credit cards,” the agency said in a Friday update on its official X handle.
It stated further that applicants need to request their cards with their NIN “through the self-service online portal, NIMC offices, or their respective banks.”
“The card will be powered by the AFRIGO card scheme, an indigenous scheme powered by NIBSS,” NIMC said.
“The card can be picked up by holders at the designated center or delivered to the applicants at the requested location at an extra cost to be borne by the applicants,” the update read.
