Overview
What is Change of Occupation (NIN)?
The occupation on your National Identification Number (NIN) record is captured at enrolment and rarely keeps up with your working life. It shows up in identity checks and on some official forms, so it is worth putting right when you change job.
NIMC updates it on the strength of your offer letter. Docufy collects the letter with the old and new job titles, a vetted partner firm submits the change to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and follows it up, and you see every step on your phone. No office visit.
Who needs this
Anyone whose NIN shows a student, apprentice or former job title after starting new work, especially where an employer or a scheme checks the record.
