Modify your NIN online.
Wrong name, date of birth, phone number or address on your National Identity Number? We file the correction with NIMC and return a verified, updated slip.
Government fees are pass-through. Service fee is fixed at the point of purchase.
Overview
What is NIN Modification?
NIN modification is the official NIMC process for correcting or updating the personal details attached to your National Identity Number — your name, date of birth, phone number, address, or other recorded fields. Banks (BVN matching), passport applications and SIM registration all fail when your NIN details are wrong, so getting them right matters.
Docufy prepares the modification, files it with NIMC, and delivers your verified, updated NIN slip to your encrypted vault.
Who needs this
Anyone whose NIN shows a wrong name spelling, date of birth, phone number or address — especially people blocked from BVN matching, passport issuance or SIM registration because their records do not align.
Requirements
What you'll need.
Everything is collected once. Drafts auto-save, so you can leave and come back.
- Your existing NIN.
- The exact change you need (old value → correct value).
- Supporting evidence — e.g. a sworn affidavit or court order for a name change, an age declaration for date of birth.
- A valid government-issued ID.
How it works
From upload to verified PDF.
A guided form captures the field, the wrong value and the correct one.
Name changes need a sworn affidavit; date-of-birth changes need an age declaration. We tell you exactly what each field requires.
NIMC’s modification charge is pass-through; our service fee is fixed at purchase.
A vetted partner submits the modification and monitors it through to approval.
Your corrected NIN slip arrives in your vault, verifiable and shareable.

Questions
Things people ask about nin modification.
How much does NIN modification cost in 2026?
NIMC charges per modification type; the pass-through fee plus our fixed service fee is shown before you pay.
Can I change my name on my NIN?
Yes — a name change requires a sworn affidavit (and a newspaper publication or marriage certificate in some cases). You can file the affidavit on Docufy first, then the modification.
Will this fix my BVN mismatch?
Correcting your NIN to match your other records is usually what banks ask for. Once your NIN is right, your BVN re-match can proceed.
How long does it take?
Our SLA is 5–7 business days, depending on the field and NIMC approval.
