The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced new restrictions on its self-service modification portal, limiting access to the specific browser and device used during account registration. The announcement was made in a press statement issued on Thursday by Dr. Kayode Adegoke, Head of the Commission’s Corporate Communications Unit.
The measure aims to enhance the security of the National Identification Number (NIN) system and protect user data. “Your self-service account is uniquely tied to the browser and device used during registration. Access to your account is therefore limited to that specific browser on that particular device,” the statement read. Users attempting to log in from a different browser or device may face access issues.
NIMC also cautioned that clearing a browser’s cache could reset its identity, potentially locking users out of their accounts. “If this occurs, the account will require an unlinking process to regain access,” the commission noted. Additionally, a cap has been placed on unlock attempts, with a maximum of five requests allowed. “No further requests will be processed after this limit is exceeded,” the statement warned.
The commission emphasized that these measures are part of broader efforts to safeguard users’ personal data and ensure the integrity of the self-service portal. “These are some of the measures put in place by the Commission to safeguard and protect the identity of the users of the self-service modifications portal,” it stated.
NIMC urged users to adhere strictly to the guidelines to avoid delays or disruptions in accessing the portal, which allows users to update certain personal records online. “Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as the Commission continues to safeguard your data and improve service delivery,” the statement concluded.
Users are advised to exercise caution to avoid actions that could trigger account locks, ensuring seamless access to the NIN self-service portal.
