PVC collection depends on when you registered:

New Registrants (2025/2026 Registration Phases):

  • Those who registered during Phase 1 (August–December 2025) or Phase 2 (January–April 2026) are expected to begin collecting their PVCs from October 2026.

     

  • Those registering during the final phase, which resumed on May 11, 2026, will likely have their PVCs ready by August.

Older Registrants (2011–2024):

If you registered in previous years but have not collected your PVC, you can still pick it up at your designated INEC Local Government office.

  • You need to check that your information are on INEC’s database. Check here: cvr.inecnigeria.
  • If your details are there, visit the INEC office you chose for pickup to collect your PVC.

You need to present your Temporary Voter’s Card or the Slip given to you at the completion of your CVR to the INEC Officials. If your TVC / Slip is missing, log on to INEC’s Voters Database on cvr.inecnigeria.org to print your data page or present an ID card for identification.

  • All Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are distributed through the 774 INEC LGA offices nationwide.

     

  • If you are unsure of the exact address for your LGA’s office, you can use the CVR Live Locator to find the precise street address for your area.
