The database enables the verification of the Identity card. In case if the students forgets to carry the ID, the database can be used to verify the Student Affairs Identity.

The NSUID system allocates each student registering a unique number designed using an algorithm that cannot be duplicated. If a card is forged, the system will recognize that the card was not issued by the system. This protects the integrity of the card.

The ID Card costs N2,500.00 renewable every year.
