Virtual NIN Lookup

How does this work

• The NIN holder can generate their virtual NIN via the NIMC Mobile App or the NIMC USSD code - _346_3_NIN_EnterpriseCode#.
• Dojah’s Enterprise code - 1138183
• The generated VNIN is valid for only 72 hours
• The vNIN is designed to replace the 11-digit NIN for everyday usage. It is a unique 16-character alphanumeric token comprising 12 digits, sandwiched between 4 alphabets, two on each end, with no correlation to the issuer’s Raw NIN. An example of a vNIN is: AB012345678910YZ.
• According to NIMC, The VNIN is not to be stored in any database but only used for verifying the NIN holder.
