To begin the process, you must visit a cybercafé or registration centre with the required biometric equipment. This is where your right and left thumbprints will be captured.
Before you go, ensure that you have all the necessary details with you. This includes your correct full name, NIN number/slip and your passport photograph. You can get your registration card at accredited cafes.
