Derived from the NIMC Act, these Regulations guide the procedures for registering individuals, storing personal details, and maintaining Nigeria’s National Identity Database. They classify “registrable persons,” outline the documents required for enrollment, and define the responsibilities of registrants and enrollment officers. The Regulations also govern amendments to registered information and detail processes for issuing or reissuing the National Identification Number (NIN) and General Multi-Purpose Cards (GMPC). By emphasizing data security and authenticity, the framework ensures only authorized changes are made to the central database. This supports national security objectives, improves service delivery, and solidifies the importance of a unified, secure, and reliable identity management system in Nigeria.
