As we continue to bask in the euphoria of the season, do not forget to prepare your businesses for the year 2023.
Meanwhile, from the 1st of January, 2023, the Means of Identification for all transactions with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) would by then be limited to the National Identification Number (NIN) only, for both Nigerians and non-Nigerians resident in Nigeria.
The implication of this is
that if you hope to have anything to do with the CAC, whether you are willing to register an entity or for any post-incorporation matter, you must have the NIN.
You can therefore take steps to do such transactions now before the year runs to an end or otherwise, begin to take steps to obtain your NIN in the new year.
And yes, this applies to Nigerians in the diaspora too.
As of today, the various means of identification remain a valid voter's card, a driver's license, an international passport or NIN.
All those except the NIN would by the beginning of the new year become invalid.
