Price History of MWS
Description of MWS
Introducing Mobile Web Services (MWS), a new suite of Personal Identity tokens and services, developed, administered and managed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
This MobileID Application is issued by the NIMC on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and serves as a valid means of Identification anywhere a Nigerian (or legal resident) is required to present an ID Token.
It MUST however, always be verified for the transaction to be complete.
The NIMC is also improving the design of the National Identification Number (NIN) Slip, which may also be verified using this App.
The NIMC will collaborate with sister agencies such as the FIRS, FRSC, JAMB, NAFDAC, NHIS and any other Federal or State Government that wishes to provide eServices to citizens via a secure platform.
Using this platform, the MWS Mobile Ecosystem means that the Government can instantly reach out to tens of millions of citizens anywhere in the world.
If you have been issued a National Identification Number (NIN) by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), you are welcome to download this application to use as a complement to, or in place of the physical National Identity Card.
This app may serve as a replacement for a physical Polycarbonate Card, since it also a State-of-the-Art General-Multipurpose resource.
We are here to serve you and welcome your feedback.
Please DO NOT attempt to use a fake Mobile Number or Bank Verification Number (BVN) to register. A NIN is issued by the Federal Government, BVN is not!
This version supports iPads.
Welcome Aboard!

The interface is good but I can't seems to print my NIN slip for the app always say there is a problem with my secure OTP that I should wipe my data and try again.. which I did severally and till now its still not working.. that's so frustrating
Say Less, Do More.
A lot has been promised but it has been glitch after glitch and in many cases stone walled especially for those of us abroad. We cannot verify our NIN because the OTP is not set up to accommodate foreign numbers. Now this update came today promising verification via WhatsApp and yet nothing worked. Also, I hope the NIMC are aware that WhatsApp is a foreign owned private business. They claimed to be end-to-end encrypted but are they? Their primary loyalty is to their home country and government. Please do the needful and let those in the diaspora be able to verify their NIN on the app like those at home. We paid to register and some of us do have significant business interests back home that require us to be verified.
OTP issue
I suggest implementing an alternative verification method since the mobile number option isn't functional in the United States; using an email address would be a great idea.
