How To Link MTN SIM Number to NIN

Telecom subscribers in Nigeria, without exception, are required to link their SIM cards numbers with NIN, to avoid deactivation of their lines. According to the NCC directive, telephone lines of customers yet to register for NIN will be disconnected if not registered and linked before the NIN link up deadline.

I’ve been able to link my mtn number to nin using the nimc mobile app. So, if you are yet to link mtn line to nin and you don’t want your mtn line to be blocked, I will recommend you also make use of the nimc app or simply download MyMTN App and follow the prompt on the homepage. You can also make use of the MTN NIN code or the MTN NIN linking portal.

MTN NIN Code

If you are an MTN subscriber, you can dial mtn nin ussd code i.e *785# using the phone number you wish to link, enter your NIN and submit or dial *785*YourNIN# from the phone number you wish to link with your NIN.

You can as well Text NIN-your 11 digit NIN to 785 and send e.g: NIN-12345678999 to 785.

Thereafter, you will get a notification stating that your NIN has been received. However, since network providers do not store NIN database, they will still have to wait for confirmation of your NIN from NIMC through a backend process before your number is finally linked and when that’s done you will receive a message.

If your NIN is verified, MTN will link it to your MTN SIM registration, and you may not need to do anything further. If it is not possible to verify the NIN you have submitted, then you may need to visit NIN enrolment Centre, in person.
