ISSUES ON DATE OF BIRTH
The Council strongly recommend that any date of birth provided at the point of indexing during training should be maintained through out the course of a Nurse’s career.

It is in fact the policy of the Council that the date of birth provided by the student should be used on all the documents issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria for example licence and verification
Hence no Nurse or Midwife is expected to request for a change of date of birth
However, issues surrounding disparities in date of birth of names may be attended to by the Council by writing to the Secretary General/Registrar of the Council
Evidences of discrepancies should also be attached to the request
Requests of this nature are scrutinized and treated based on merit
