Which IDs can I use?

National ID card or NIN slip, virtual NIN, international passport, driver's licence and voter's card.

Last reviewed 13 November 2026

  • National ID card (NIN slip or card)
  • Virtual NIN
  • International passport
  • Driver's licence
  • Voter's card (PVC)

Whichever you choose, it must be valid, in your own name, and the name must match your BVN. A paper NIN slip works as long as the whole page is clear and readable.
