Nigerians in the UK register for NIN at diaspora enrolment centres linked to NIMC's licensed partners. Dicksons World Services runs a centre in London, at 530–532 Kingsland Road, Dalston, E8 4AH. If you live elsewhere in the UK, check NIMC's official channels for the current list of licensed centres before you travel.
Our centre: London
We have one physical centre, in Dalston, East London. We do not have branches in other UK cities. Find out more on our London NIN enrolment centre page, or book an appointment.
Where can I register for Nigerian NIN in Manchester?
We do not have a centre in Manchester. NIMC works with licensed partners whose centre locations change from time to time, so the reliable way to find a current centre near Manchester is to check the official NIMC website or contact NIMC directly. If you are happy to travel, you can also book with us in London.
Is there a Nigerian NIN office in Birmingham?
We do not operate in Birmingham. As with Manchester, check NIMC's official channels for the current list of licensed enrolment centres in the Midlands, or book an appointment at our London centre.
Where can I register for Nigerian NIN in Dublin?
Dublin is in Ireland, not the UK, so UK centres do not cover it automatically. Check NIMC's official list of diaspora enrolment locations, or contact the Embassy of Nigeria in Ireland for guidance. If you are able to travel to London, you are also welcome to book with us.
How to check a centre is genuine
- It has a physical address with opening hours.
- It captures your fingerprints, photograph and signature in person.
- It explains which fees are NIMC and NPC fees and which are its own.
- It gives you an enrolment slip with a transaction ID.
- It does not promise a NIN within hours or guarantee processing times.
Travelling to London to enrol
If you are coming from outside London, book a fixed time so you can plan your journey, and message us before you travel so we can check your documents. That way you will not make a long journey only to find something missing. Our NIN appointment checklist helps you pack.
Choosing between travelling and waiting
If there is no licensed centre near you, you can either travel to a centre such as ours in London, or wait for a trip to Nigeria, where first-time enrolment is free. If you need your NIN for a passport or a bank deadline, travelling to a UK centre is usually quicker.
Making the trip to London worthwhile
- Enrol every family member who needs a NIN in the same visit.
- Register or update your BVN in the same visit.
- Use our printing and photocopying service if you need copies.
