You can’t link SIM with BVN-generated NIN – NIMC Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja The National Identity Management Commission on Tuesday said Subscriber Identification Modules would not be linked with National Identity Numbers generated through Bank Verification Numbers. It disclosed this in tweets via its official Twitter handle, stressing that individuals with BVN-generated NINs should visit NIMC offices to validate their NINs. It said the BVN-generated NIN would not work on its newly inaugurated mobile app. “You must complete your NIN registration even if your BVN has generated a NIN,” the commission stated. It added, “If your NIN was generated due to the BVN record harmonisation with the National Identity Database, you will not have access to the NIMC mobile app and your NIN-SIM integration will be invalid.
