Best Suited For
Customers with lost NIN slips, misplaced documents, or those who registered years ago and only recall their registered SIM number.
Operator Tip
Confirm that the SIM card was registered in the customer's own name. If the line was registered under a relative's name, search using demographic details instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I retrieve a NIN with an unregistered or new phone number?
No. The phone number must match the number provided during original NIN enrollment or subsequently linked via telecom NIN-SIM integration.
What if the customer no longer has access to the physical SIM card?
As long as you know the phone number string, you can retrieve the profile on Idyntic without needing to receive an SMS OTP on the line.
