The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has said the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) was now mandatory for the processing of driver’s license. 

According to a statement by the Corps on Wednesday, issued by its spokesman, Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem, the mandate takes effect from December 21.

It noted that the development followed the Federal Government’s directive on the harmonisation of citizens’ data by relevant agencies.

The statement read in part: “FRSC Management has resolved that effective 21 December 2020, all applicants for the National Driver’s Licence in Nigeria must present the National Identification Number (NIN) from the NIMC before they can be captured for any class of the licences produced by the FRSC.

“All driver’s licence applicants are, therefore, expected to present their National Identification Number from the date, before they can be attended to.”

Noting that there would be no waiver for anyone, Bisi stressed the need for a harmonised database of all citizens saying it  was critical to resolving security challenges in the country.

He therefore urged the public, especially those going for their driver’s licence processing, to heed to the directives and follow the procedures for getting their NIN from the National Identity Management Commission which must be verified to be authentic before action can be taken on their application for the licences.

According to the statement, all numbers presented by the applicants must correspond with what NIMC issued to individuals for a harmonised database.

The Corps Public Education Officer craved the cooperation of members of the public to make the policy a success in the collective interest of the nation and commitment to building and maintaining a credible national database on citizens.

He assured that FRSC remained committed to supporting the Federal Government in its resolve to tackling the challenges of citizens’ identification and national security challenges.
