Ask your employer to initiate registration
NASSIT registration is typically initiated by your employer within 30 days of joining. Your employer completes an Employee Registration Form (ERF) with your personal details and submits it to NASSIT. If your employer hasn't done this, request it in writing.

Receive your NASSIT card
Your NASSIT card is usually ready within 1–2 weeks. It will be sent to your employer or you can collect it from the NASSIT office. Keep it safe — you will need it to claim benefits in future. Monthly contributions are 5% of gross salary (employee) + 10% (employer).

Community tips
Step 1: Ask your employer to initiate registration
“Keep a copy of your NASSIT number and check it on your pay slips every month. Some employers register employees but then don't actually remit the contributions.”
Step 2: Submit your personal documents at NASSIT
“If you are self-employed or a domestic worker, you can still register as a voluntary contributor. Ask at the NASSIT office for the Voluntary Contributor Form.”
“You can register at any NASSIT office nationwide — the Koidu and Bo branches handle all the same processes as Freetown HQ.”
