In regards to the deadline given to network providers by NCC to block all sims on the 30th Of December 2020 which is not linked with his/her NIN.
As this appears to be more serious, we thought of getting you the easiest and safest method on how to link your nin with your MTN sim without having to visit the nearest mtn outlet to suffer queue and risk of Covid-19.
We will be directing you on how to link your NIN number successfully to your mtn sim cards.
How to get your NIN number from the sim you enrolled with
- Dial *346# on the sim you enrolled with to get your 11 digit NIN number.
- Note that you will be charged N20
Method 1 – Linking With MTN Website:
To link your NIN with your MTN phone number, carry out the following steps:
- Visit https://mtnonline.com/nim/ using your phone or computer
- Complete the NIN linking form by entering your name, phone number, NIN and email address.
- Submit the form as soon as you’re done.
- Wait from feedback from the network in a couple of days.
Method 2 – Using USSD Code:
To link your your NIN with your MTN SIM using USSD, follow the steps below:
- Dial *785# using the MTN you wish to perform the linking on.
Type 1 for “Enter your 11-digit NIN” and send.
Enter your 11-digit NIN and send.
Wait for the network to give a confirmation of your submission. You may get a message saying “Network error.”
Don’t panic if you do! Just wait for some time and try it again.
However, to get yourself ready to be able to carry out the linking of your NIN with your phone number here’s what you must do:
- Visit any NIMC office near you and apply for your National Identity Card if you haven’t
- Register and obtain your temporary ID slip which will contain your NIN
- Keep your NIN details in a safe place so that you’ll be able to provide them when necessary.
What if you forgot your NIN and don’t have the slip?
- If registered and you don’t know your NIN, just dial *346# on the SIM card you with the National Identity Management Centre (NIMC).
- A message containing your NIN will be displayed, just copy it somewhere safe.
- Note that checking your NIN via the USSD provided above costs N20 only.
If you’re facing issues performing the linking, you might have to visit your network provider’s office to lodge a complaint. Alternatively, call the customer care line for your network provider and provide details on the challenges you’re facing.
