9mobile NIN Registration: How to Link or Register Your NIN with 9mobile in 2025

9mobile NIN Registration

Since the Nigerian government mandated the linkage of the National Identification Number (NIN) to mobile lines, 9mobile subscribers have been required to submit or update their NIN to avoid disconnection. If you’re wondering how to complete your 9mobile NIN registration in 2025, this guide provides all the details—from linking options to where you can register your NIN.

Why Is NIN Registration on 9mobile Important?

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) requires all mobile users to have a valid NIN linked to their SIM for national security and digital identity purposes.

Failure to link your NIN can result in:

Call/SMS restrictions
SIM deactivation
Blocked access to banking services

9mobile, like other mobile operators, is actively enforcing this directive.

How to Link Your NIN to 9mobile SIM

You can link your NIN to your 9mobile line through multiple options:

1. USSD Code

Simply dial: *996#
Select the NIN linking option
Enter your 11-digit NIN and confirm

If successful, you’ll receive a confirmation message.

2. Online Self-Service Portal

Use the official 9mobile NIN linking portal to submit your information:

Enter your phone number
Input your 11-digit NIN
Upload any required documents (optional)
Submit and await confirmation via SMS

3. 9mobile App

If you use the my9mobile app, you can:

Log in
Go to "My Profile" or "Link NIN"
Enter your NIN and confirm

4. NIMC Enrollment Center (for Fresh NIN Registration)

If you don’t have a NIN yet, visit an accredited NIMC registration centre or selected 9mobile walk-in outlets that offer enrollment services.

Bring:

Valid ID (Voter’s card, international passport, birth certificate, etc.)
A phone number to link

You will receive a NIN slip upon registration. You can later link it using *996# or the online method.

How to Confirm Your NIN Linkage

After linking, dial:

*996# → Select “NIN Status”
Or use the NIMC verification service to validate if your NIN is active and properly linked.

What to Do If You Have Issues Linking Your NIN

If you encounter errors like “Invalid NIN” or “Verification Failed,” here’s what to do:

Make sure the NIN you entered is correct and matches your SIM details
Visit a 9mobile Experience Centre for manual validation
Check your NIN status on the NIMC website
If you lost your NIN, retrieve it by dialing *346# on the line used during NIN registration

NIN Correction or Update

Need to correct your date of birth or names on your NIN? You can do so at an official NIMC modification center—note that this may take 7 to 30 days, depending on the request and network availability.

Completing your NIN registration on 9mobile is no longer optional—it’s a requirement that affects your mobile access, banking, and even digital ID. Whether you already have a NIN or need to register for one, the process is easy via *996#, the 9mobile app, or online portal.

For real-time updates on network status or to check if the NIMC portal is currently down, visit their official platforms or speak with 9mobile customer care by dialing 200.
