10 Best SIM Registration & KYC Companies in Nigeria

05 Nov 2025

In Nigeria, every new mobile subscription must comply with regulatory mandates for SIM registration and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) enforces that mobile network operators link subscriptions to a valid national ID (via the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC) and capture accurate subscriber data to reduce fraud and criminal misuse. This has created a market for specialist companies that deliver biometric data capture, ID verification (NIN/BVN), facial recognition, liveness checks, and real-time validation workflows. Firms like Seamfix have processed tens of millions of registrations and helped major operators meet compliance deadlines. Meanwhile, Youverify, Mobilise and other tech providers enable streamlined onboarding for telcos, MVNOs, and ISPs, allowing remote self-service registration, agent workflows and regulatory audit trails. The rise of digital onboarding means that physical queues are being replaced by apps and kiosks. This segment is critical because accurate subscriber data underpins safe telecommunications, mitigates SIM swap fraud, and aligns with national security and fintech regulatory frameworks. Choosing a trusted KYC/SIM-registration partner ensures telcos comply, customers activate quickly, and subscribers are verified to high standards.
