Applicants are instructed to request their cards, linked with their NIN (National Identification Number), via the self-service online portal, NIMC offices, or their respective banks.

This innovative initiative will utilize the AFRIGO card scheme, a domestic system empowered by NIBSS, ensuring efficiency and reliability in card distribution. Moreover, holders will have the flexibility to collect their cards from designated centers or opt for delivery to their preferred location, albeit at an additional cost borne by the applicants.
