The National Identification Number (NIN) has become a very important number for SIM registration, banking operations, JAMB registration, and so on which is why it is important to know your NIN.
If you do not remember your NIN but inputted your Glo phone number during registration, then you can easily check your 11-digit NIN on your Glo line without having to visit an enrollment centre.
In this guide, we will show you the simple steps to check your NIN number directly from your Glo mobile number. So whether you need to confirm your NIN or just want to cross-check it, following the instructions below will help you retrieve it in no time from Glo.
Code to Link NIN to Glo
The use of USSD code to check your NIN on Glo is the most popular method used because it does not require a data connection. Here are the steps to follow:
- Dial *109*your number# on your Glo line
- Press send and wait for a confirmation message
- Your NIN status will be displayed in the confirmation message, and if it’s not linked, you will be prompted to do so.
Please note that you have to ensure you have enough airtime on the line you’re checking from, as the process will deduct N20 from your airtime balance. You must also have registered your Glo sim with your NIN before using the USSD code to check your NIN.
