How To Pre-enrol for National Identity Card and how to use it as an ATMcard Worldwide

The National Identity Management Commission NIMC, is responsible for issuing out National ID Cards for Nigerians. Established by the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007, the NIMC has the mandate to establish, own, operate, maintain and manage the National Identity Database in Nigeria, register persons covered by the Act, is assign a Unique National Identification Number (NIN) and issue General Multi-Purpose Cards (GMPC) to those whom have applied for the National ID Card at the proper registration points nationwide.
          Many Nigerians have successfully received their National IDCards, however, only a few care to more about their ID Cards. Obviously, the ID Card looks like an ATM Card, and in reality, it is a MasterCard which can be used worldwide to withdraw money from any ATM, just as it other debit cards from all commercial banks can be used, irrespective of the country you are in.
         In addition, the Nigerian government has also said that the National ID Card may be used as Visa acceptable by some countries.            
         But that is a topic for another day because today, I will be discussing on: How to Pre-enrol for the National ID card and how to use the National ID Card as ATM Cards, used to withdraw money from any bank in any country.
Pre-enrolment
For you to register for your National Identification Number (NIN) And Card Online, the following are the steps involved.
1. From NIMC’s homesite (http://www.nimc.gov.ng/ ) click on the “register from home picture”. Alternatively you can go to www.ninenrol.gov.ng to be welcomed to the National Identification Number (NIN) pre-registration portal.
2. Create your National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment profile on the pre-registration portal www.ninenrol.gov.ng .
3. Sign into the National Identification Number (NIN) pre-registration portal www.ninenrol.gov.ng and fill in biodata.
4. Print out the pre-registration slip gotten from www.ninenrol.gov.ng and take it to the nearest enrolment Centre. Details of the various enrolment centres are given in a later paragraph.
5. At the enrolment Centre, the enrolment officer scans bar code to pull up the applicant data.
6. Applicant verifies his/her data and has his/her photograph, finger print captured
7. Applicant has his supporting documents scanned
8. Enrolment is acknowledged and a slip is generated and given indicating completion of enrolment.
National ID Card as ATM Cards
Access Bank of Nigeria is the sole bank currently powering the National Id Card. Below are the steps on how to load your
National ID Card (MasterCard)
1. Visit any Access Bank branch with your card (National IDcard from NIMC)
2. Complete a deposit slip with the required information as done with normal account payment system
3. Your card will be credited instantly with the value of cash paid
For cash payment where Card is not available
1. Visit any Access Bank branch with your card (National IDcard from NIMC)
2. Ensure you have the 16 digit card number information
3. Complete a deposit slip with the required information as usual
4. The card will be credited with the value of cash paid
Before funding your Master Card, you need to activate it the same way you activated your normal ATM Cards issued to you from your respective banks. However, I activated mine (my National ID
Card) at the point of collection. But just in case you have not done that yet and you wish to, you can follow the steps below on how to do that;
1. First, activate your card by selecting a 4-digit PIN using the POS terminal at the NIMC center or any Access Bank Branch
2. Next, visit any Access Bank ATM and insert your card. Go to the PIN change menu then select I-PIN on the display.
3. Select any 4- digits PIN of your choice and confirm on the ATM
4. A ''PIN Change Successful'' message is displayed (pin must be kept secret, it's money we talking here)
5. When shopping online and MasterCard SecureCode is required,
please provide the 4 - digits I-PIN.
