If you’re a Nigerian living in Alberta, completing your BVN (Bank Verification Number) and NIN (National Identity Number) enrollment is essential for financial and consular services, including passport renewal.
The difference:
- BVN identifies you for Nigerian bank transactions and links all your accounts.
- NIN identifies you for legal, governmental, and immigration services.
For Nigerians abroad, a Non-Resident BVN (NRBVN) ensures uninterrupted access to Nigerian banking, remittances, and digital verification. Both BVN and NIN are now mandatory for most official processes.
In Alberta, the authorized local center, A&T Global IT Consulting (ATGIC), offers secure and official bvn self service for Nigerians in Edmonton and Calgary.
