For Airtel users who don’t know what a NIN is, this acronym stands for National Identification Number. You only get this unique 11 digit number when you enrol for a National Identity Card in Nigeria.
How to retrieve your NIN on Airtel
If you have previously registered but can’t remember your NIN, dialling *346# directly on your phone would instantly unveil your NIN on your Airtel-powered device.
How to link NIN to your Airtel Line
To link your NIN to your Airtel line can be done in three different ways. You can link by using the Airtel NIN Code, Airtel NIN Portal or through the NIMC MobileID App. You will find detailed explanations of these three methods below.
Link via Airtel NIN Code
Airtel NIN Code for linking is *121*1# and it only works for Airtel lines. If you already have your NIN, just follow the steps below to link it.
- Dial *121*1# to link your National Identification Number (NIN) on Airtel. Afterwards, you’ll be automatically redirected to the portal to enter your NIN, and immediately insert your NIN to complete registration.
Link via Airtel NIN Portal
- Visit airtel.com.ng/nin/
- Then input your Airtel number, be it Mobile Number, MiFi, Router or ODU
- Then click on proceed then confirm the OTP code
- Now insert your National Identification Number and finish it up.
Link via NIMC MobileID App
Alternatively, if you’ve tried the methods above but didn’t get a positive result, then try using the NIMC MobileID App. This method, however, requires you to have your National Identification Number (NIN) issued by the National Identity Management Commission or one of its accredited agents and a Mobile Number (which you used during enrolment for the NIN) – to receive an OTP for installing the Mobile ID app.
