Overview
What is Change of Photo (NIN)?
A photograph that no longer looks like you, or was captured badly in the first place, is a problem every time your National Identification Number (NIN) is checked in person — at a bank, a passport office or a SIM registration desk.
A photo change is the one NIN modification that cannot be finished from a phone: NIMC re-captures your biometrics in person. Docufy prepares the request and a vetted partner firm tells you where and when to attend, then follows the change through. You see every step on your phone.
Who needs this
Anyone whose NIN photograph is unclear, badly captured or long out of date, especially people whose identity is checked face to face.
Requirements

- Your current NIN and your old NIN slip.

Questions
Things people ask about change of photo (nin).
Can I change my NIN photo without visiting NIMC?
No. NIMC re-captures your biometrics in person, so a photo change needs one visit. Every other NIN change on Docufy, apart from a change of level of education, is done without one.
What kind of photograph should I upload?
A recent passport photograph on a plain white background. The capture at the office is what ends up on your record; the upload goes with the application.
