The National Identification Number (N.I.N) is an 11 digit number assigned to Nigerians by the NIMC and all your telecommunication sim cards have to be linked to that single number. In this write-up is mtn NIN code needed to link the number to your sim card.

There are various ways you can do this which include using a ussd code, mtn website, and mtn mobile app. Most people chose to use the ussd and that is because it is more convenient than the others.

Convenient? Yes. You will need access to the internet to use the website or mobile app which isn’t needed if you opt-in for the ussd method.
