Nigerians To Pay ₦3,000 For National ID Card Renewal, ₦5,000 For Replacement

Nigerians will have to pay ₦3,000 through remita for the renewal of National Identity Card and ₦5,000 for replacement, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has said.

Naija News reports that this was disclosed in a series of tweets by the commission on its tweeter handle (@nimc_ng) on Tuesday.

The commission noted that applicants who wish to renew their card can visit any NIMC office with the required documents to obtain their card.

“The requirements include a written application with attached proof of payment receipt made through remita, bank teller, NIN slip and submit it at our office.

“Card renewal is N3000 when your card expires and card replacement is N5000 for lost or stolen cards,“ NIMC tweeted.
