Candidates experiencing JAMB registration problems in 2026/2027 can check the JAMB’s official website or check Nkedugists page here to see if their complain can be solved.
JAMB candidates can follow the published instructions for retrieving profile codes and correcting NIN information, or submit a complaint through the JAMB Support Ticketing System. Candidates should keep their registration details and supporting evidence available and verify current instructions before taking further action.
What are the latest JAMB registration complaints and responses in 2026?
JAMB registration related concerns include problems retrieving profile codes, incorrect personal details linked to NIN records, and difficulties accessing previously registered phone numbers. JAMB provides official guidance and a support ticketing channel for candidates who need assistance.
In August 2026, Voice of Nigeria reported that JAMB had resolved more than 5,000 pending complaints within five days. The report included cases involving candidates who could no longer access their original registration numbers. This is a dated report, not confirmation that every outstanding complaint has been resolved.
How can I resolve JAMB registration problems?
Candidates should first identify the specific error and follow the relevant instruction on JAMB’s official support platform. A profile-code problem, a wrong NIN record and a payment problem may require different actions.
For a profile-code problem, check the official FAQ.
- For incorrect personal details, confirm that the NIN record has been corrected by the appropriate authority before following JAMB’s re-query instructions.
- For an unresolved issue, submit a support request.
Keep relevant SMS messages, payment evidence and error details available when submitting a complaint.
How do I generate my JAMB profile code in 2026/2027?
To generate your jamb profile code, kindly send NIN, followed by a space and your 11-digit National Identification Number, to 55019 or 66019 by SMS. The phone number you used becomes you registered contact for subsequent communications from Jamb.
For example, the message format is NIN 01234567890. send to 55019 or 66019
Before sending the message, check that you have entered the correct NIN and are using a phone number you can continue to access.
What should I do if I have not received my profile code?
Check your SMS details and ₦50 airtime balance to perform the task. Candidates should have at least ₦50 airtime when requesting a Jamb profile code.
If you generated a profile code previously, you can still send RESEND from the same mobile number to 55019 or 66019 to retrieve or reactivate it, as applicable. If the issue continues, submit a support ticket rather than assuming the registration has been completed.
Can I correct my NIN details for JAMB registration?
Yes, you can correct the affected information with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) first, then follow JAMB’s published re-query procedure for updating the information on an existing record.
Candidates should verify that the NIN correction has been made to their NIN record before proceeding. Keep any relevant confirmation and do not assume that sending a message alone guarantees that the corrected details have been applied to every JAMB record.
How do I reactivate an old JAMB profile code?
If you previously generated a profile code, JAMB’s FAQ advises sending RESEND from the same mobile number used for the earlier registration. This can help retrieve or reactivate the code for a new registration, where applicable.
If the original number is no longer accessible, contact JAMB through its official support platform for guidance. Do not assume that an old code or a different phone number will work automatically.
What is the cost of JAMB registration in 2026?
The published 2026 application prices are ₦7,000 for UTME without mock, ₦8,700 for UTME with mock, and ₦5,700 for Direct Entry. These are the prices stated in JAMB’s 2026 official bulletin.

On behalf of we that made correction on NIN and still pulling out the old data, we want to plead with JAMB about the NIN on our behalf to try and update our information even after sending REQUERY and emails,no response and JAMB reg is closing very soon

- You cannot use REQUERY command until you have visited the NIMC to effect the changes. Once you have confirmed that the changes have been corrected, you can then send REQUERY NIN eg REQUERY 12345678910 to 55019 or 66019 depending of the one used earlier.
