This official guide outlines the detailed JAMB 2026 Registration Procedure that candidates must follow for a seamless application. Since the National Identification Number (NIN) remains mandatory, adherence to the NIMC/NIN linkage steps is crucial.
Part 1: Mandatory Pre-Registration Steps (NIMC)
Candidates must first ensure their identity records are aligned, as biodata is retrieved automatically.
- Data Alignment: Ensure all your personal details (names, O’Level/A-Level results, date of birth) are identical on both your NIMC record and your other credentials.
- NIMC Corrections: If you find any discrepancies (e.g., in Name, Date of Birth, Gender), visit the nearest NIMC office immediately to correct them. You must confirm NIMC has effected the changes on their portal before proceeding with the JAMB 2026 Registration Procedure.
Part 2: Generating Your Profile Code
This step links your NIN to JAMB, creating your unique profile.
- Send SMS Command: Send the following command via SMS to either 55019 or 66019:NIN (leave one space) your 11-digit NIN NUMBER
- Data Retrieval: Once the profile code is received, your biodata is automatically retrieved from NIMC. Note that this profile code cannot be changed once generated.
Part 3: Final Registration at the CBT Centre
- E-PIN Vending: Purchase your e-PIN exclusively from authorized channels only (Banks, approved online platforms, or vendors at official Registration Centres).
- Registration Location: Proceed to the nearest JAMB office or an approved CBT Centre to begin your registration.
- Cross-Check & Submission: The CBT Centre staff must use a dual screen during the process. Consequently, you must actively cross-check all details, including your passport and biometrics, to ensure accuracy before the Registrant submits your final application.
Troubleshooting Common Profile Code Challenges
During the initial phase of the JAMB 2026 Registration Procedure, candidates often face these NIMC/SMS issues:
| Challenge | Solution |
| RECORD NOT FOUND | The system cannot locate your NIN. Solution: Visit the nearest NIMC office for validation or data correction immediately. |
| WRONG PARAMETER | The SMS command was sent in an incorrect format (e.g., missing space). Solution: Resend the correct command: NIN 0000001111 to 55019/66019. |
| NIN ALREADY REGISTERED | You previously generated a code with a different quoted GSM number. Solution: You can only receive the profile code through that same number. Retrieve the original SIM card and send the request again. |
| UNABLE TO VERIFY YOUR NIN | Temporary server issue. Solution: Please wait and retry the request later. |
Important Tips
- Biometric Issues: If you encounter biometric issues, visit the nearest JAMB Office. Do not allow any CBT Centre to register you forcefully without correct biometric capture.
- Unique Identifiers: GSM numbers and email addresses are unique identifiers; therefore, they cannot be changed or shared and must be functional throughout the process.
