Before you rush to generate a new code for the 2026 session, take note of these critical JAMB 2026 profile code facts. If you sat for the exam in 2025 or earlier, these points will save you money and prevent registration stress.
1. You Can Reuse Your Previous Profile Code
Once a profile code is generated, it is permanently linked to your NIN in the JAMB database. If you did not gain admission last year, you do not need a brand-new code.
- The Fact: Your 2025 profile code remains valid for your JAMB 2026 profile code needs.
- The Action: Use your existing code to purchase your 2026 e-PIN. If you have forgotten it, simply send RESEND to 55019 or 66019 from your registered SIM.
2. Your Phone Number is Your Unique ID
JAMB uses your phone number as a primary key. In the past, losing this SIM caused significant registration hurdles.
- The New Update: Ideally, use the same phone number from previous years. However, if you lost that SIM, do not just send a fresh NIN message from a new line. Instead, visit an accredited CBT center to use the “Lost SIM” template and perform biometric verification to link a new number to your old JAMB 2026 profile code.
3. Data is Pulled Directly from NIMC
Many candidates believe they can change their name or date of birth during the 2026 registration process at the CBT center.
- The Reality: JAMB pulls your biodata directly from the NIMC (NIN) database. If you recently corrected your name or age at an NIMC office, ensure the update reflects on their portal before you initiate your JAMB 2026 profile code for registration.
4. One SIM, One Candidate
You cannot “share” a phone number with a sibling or friend. Even for new registrations, every candidate requires a unique SIM card. Using a number previously used by someone else will result in their details appearing on your profile instead of yours.
5. Avoid “Henna” (Laali/Lale)
Applying Henna to your fingers before registration is a mistake that can ruin your admission chances. It interferes with biometric scanners; if the system cannot capture your fingerprints, your JAMB 2026 profile code cannot be used to complete your registration.
Summary Checklist for Returning Candidates
- Locate your old registered SIM card.
- Verify your NIN details are 100% correct via NIMC.
- Send RESEND to 55019 to retrieve your existing code.
- Use that code to buy your 2026 e-PIN starting in January.
