How to Print NIN Slip with Phone Number

Step-by-step walkthrough on retrieving and printing a NIN slip using the phone number linked at NIN enrollment, for customers who no longer remember their NIN.

Overview & Context

When a customer has misplaced their NIN slip and does not recall the 11-digit number, you can query the national identity database using the SIM phone number linked during enrollment.

Document & Production Details

Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. 3Run the live lookup query to retrieve the associated National Identification record.

Recommended Paper Stock

Dependent on selected output slip (Standard A4 paper or Glossy PVC card stock).

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.
