Nigerians will henceforth pay for the verification of their National Identity Number NIN while applying for their international passport .
This was contained in a sentence by the National Identity Management Commission signed by its Head, Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, on Monday.

The NIN service fees will take effect from April 1,2023 as Nigerians will pay N1000 for NIN verification in Nigeria, $5 in other African countries, and $15 in other countries.
