The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced a review of its service fee charges, and has vowed to penalize defaulters.
This declaration follows a 10-year span during which pricing remained unchanged, prompting a thorough evaluation to ensure its services are in sync with public needs.
In a statement released by Head, Corporate Communications Unit of the NIMC, Kayode Adegoke,
on May 1, 2025, the commission disclosed that the updated pricing framework is designed to uphold the quality and credibility of NIMC’s services, while still being affordable and accessible for all Nigerians.
Additionally, the NIMC said that the new pricing will be implemented right away with no deferment.
The NIMC cautioned all front-end partners to conform strictly to the recent modifications, asserting that those who do not comply with the approved rates will face penalties, including the potential revocation of their licenses.
The statement emphasized the commission’s dedication to safeguarding the interests of Nigerians and ensuring that services are offered at just and clear prices.
