NIN Updating Official Fees – Agents Charging up to 50,000 Naira for Date of Birth & Up to 25,000 For Name Changes
One Such Case has been Reported by One Mr Ehimen Okeya complaining about the Massive Fraud in Benin City Ramat Park NIMC Registration Services inside the Nigerian Immigation Office .
Yes, there have been reports of NIN agents in Nigeria charging exorbitant fees for date of birth and name changes. These fees are far higher than the official fees charged by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
The NIMC has warned against these illegal charges and has advised Nigerians to report any such cases to the authorities. The NIMC has also said that it is working to crack down on these unscrupulous agents.
Here are some tips to avoid being scammed by NIN agents:
- Only go to authorized NIN registration centers. You can find a list of authorized centers on the NIMC website.
- Do not pay any fees to agents before you have registered for your NIN. The NIMC does not charge any fees for registration.
- If you are asked to pay a fee, ask for a receipt.
- If you are unsure about anything, contact the NIMC customer service center.
If you have been scammed by a NIN agent, you can report the case to the NIMC or to the police.
Here are some additional tips for staying safe and avoiding scams:
- Be wary of unsolicited offers, especially those that seem too good to be true.
- Do your research before entering into any financial agreements.
- Be careful about sharing your personal information, such as your NIN number, with anyone.
- If you are unsure about something, ask for help from a trusted friend or family member.
Remember, you are never obligated to pay for a service that you have not received. If you are pressured to pay a fee, it is best to walk away.
