๐ณ๐ฌ IMPORTANT: What Nigerians Need to Know About Digital Birth Registration
Nigeria is moving from paper-based birth registration to a digital Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (VitalReg) system. For Nigerians who still have older/manual birth certificates, NPC now provides a Certificate Reissuance process for eligible non-digital certificates.
Here are some important things to know:
๐น Children 0โ5: Birth registration is free at NPC registration centres.
๐น Birth registration covers ages 0โ17, while Birth Attestation is for people aged 18 and above.
๐น NIN is now an important part of the process. NPC's system uses NIN to link identity and civil-registration records.
๐น For a child's registration, the parent's Attestation Number may be required, while NPC says the child's NIN is also part of the registration requirements.
๐น If you have an old/manual birth certificate, NPC has a Certificate Reissuance service. Eligible applicants need their NIN and must upload the old non-digital certificate.
๐น Those using the self-service system may also need Birth Attestation before they can complete a child's registration.

The bigger issue is public awareness.
How many Nigerians with old birth certificates know that there is now a digital process for reissuance? How many know the NIN, attestation and other requirements before they get to an NPC office?
The National Population Commission @natpopcom and National Orientation Agency (@NOA_Nigeria) should take this information to the grassroots through radio, television, social media and community engagement.
Digital transformation is good. But Nigerians must be properly informed before they are asked to navigate the new system.
This information could save someone a lot of time and frustration. ๐ณ๐ฌ @AsiwajuOladimej
