This is serious but it is solvable!! So, don’t despair!

You will surely need to visit any of the NIMC centers, as they will need different details (like an affidavit from the court) depending on the error you wish to amend. The NIMC official will surely guide you through.

How do I link my NIN card to my new Glo SIM?

Glo NIN Code for linking is *109# and it only works for only Glo lines. If you already have your NIN, just follow the steps below to submit and link it. Dial *109*NIN# to submit and link your National Identification Number (NIN) on Glo.

It is literally the same way you link your existing GLO Sim.

How do I check if my Glo NIN is linked?

After you have finished linking your GLO NIN, NIMC will send you a one time message whether your SIM is successfully linked or not and if you are not sure, you can repeat the linking process as much as you like to be sure!

How do I know if my NIN has been validated?

Another way to check if your NIN has been verified is to try linking it up to your SIM card. If the process comes out successful, then your NIN has been verified by NIMC.

Why is my NIN not linking to my number?

This could be for several reasons such as incomplete NIN registration, computer error during integration by NIMC, mismatch of data on NIN registration and data of SIM card registration. If you ruled all these out, it is possible that you linked more than 7 SIM cards to 1 NIN.

Also, it could be because of network problems.

What do I do if my NIN is not working?

If you have a BVN-generated NIN, simply carry the NIN to any NIMC Enrolment center closest to you and tell the agent or official on duty that you’d like to validate your NIN. Once it gets validated, the error will be cleared.

What will happen if I don’t link my NIN to my SIM?

If you do not link your NIN with your SIM card, either you have your 11-digit number (NIN), or your line could be disconnected or banned till you provide your NIN to your network provider. Not linking your SIM card means disobeying the orders given by the FG, which could warrant extra stress.

Can you use another person NIN to link your SIM?

It is possible but not legal as NCC has warned the subscriber from linking another person’s NIN with his/her SIM.

Can I link my NIN by myself?

It is very possible and that is exactly what we covered in this article.

One way to do that is through GLO NIN Code! Simply dial *109*NIN# to submit and link your National Identification Number (NIN) on Glo.
