Some applicants are unable to proceed with Nigeria Police Force recruitment on the PSC portal due to “NIMC Error: Unable to extract nationality record for NIN”.
The error is likely due to network glitch as thousands of applicants are actively on the PSC portal. Affected applicants are to keep retrying.
If that fails, the solution is to visit your NIMC office for NIN validation. Applicants do not have to worry about the recruitment portal, as it will close on January 25, 2026. That is a long time from today. So, whenever you have the time, proceed to the nearest office or an authorized NIN agent to correct the error, then continue with Police Service registration.
The PSC portal is not based on first come, first served, but on who is most qualified, especially meeting the age requirement.
After validation, input the NIN and other details in provided fields on the portal to obtain your bio-data information. Upon validation, you will be allowed to proceed into the Application Form.
