Introduction
The Affidavit of Correction of Date of Birth on NIN is a highly specific legal document required by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) for data modification.

With the integration of NIN into passport issuance, JAMB registration, and banking, a wrong Date of Birth (DOB) on your NIN can paralyze your ability to access essential services.

Specific Requirement
Unlike a general declaration of age, this affidavit must explicitly reference the National Identity Number (NIN) of the deponent.

It must state the erroneous date currently in the database and the correct date that should replace it.

NIMC often requires this affidavit to be supported by a birth certificate or an age declaration.

Process of Modification
Once sworn in a High Court, this affidavit is taken to a NIMC enrollment center.

It serves as the legal authorization for the modification officer to alter the biometric database.

Without this affidavit, the NIMC cannot legally change a citizen's core data, as the date of birth is a fundamental identifier used for national security and planning.
