How to Change Email on JAMB Profile 2025/2026

However, sometimes you may need to change your email address for various reasons, such as:

• You forgot the password to your email account and you cannot recover it.
• You made a mistake in the email address you used during your JAMB registration.
• You used an unreliable email service provider and you did not receive emails from JAMB or your institution.
• You want to use a different email address for personal or security reasons.

Whatever the reason, changing your email address on your JAMB profile is possible, but not always easy. In this article, we will show you how to change your email address on your JAMB profile and link it to the JAMB portal.

Method 1: Create a new email account with the same address as the one on your JAMB profile

This method works if the email address on your JAMB profile is available for registration with the email service provider. For example, if your email address on your JAMB profile is [email protected], and it is not taken by another user, you can create a new Gmail account with the same address.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Go to the email service provider’s website (e.g. Gmail).
• Click on “Create new email” or “Sign up”.
• Enter the email address on your JAMB profile and a new password.
• Verify your phone number and accept the terms and conditions.
• Congratulations, you have created a new email account with the same address as the one on your JAMB profile.

Method 2: Visit a JAMB office or accredited centre and request for a JAMB Email Linking Form

This method works if the email address on your JAMB profile is not available for registration with the email service provider, or if you want to use a different email address. However, this method requires you to pay a fee of N500 and visit a JAMB office or accredited centre near you.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Visit a JAMB office or accredited centre near you.
• Request for a JAMB Email Linking Form and pay N500.
• Provide your valid email address, JAMB registration number, and profile code.
• Fill out the form, submit it, and thumbprint it.
• A JAMB officer will process the email linking via the JAMB CAPS portal.
• You will receive a confirmation email from JAMB with your new password.

Method 3: Send an SMS with your email address to 55019 using the phone number registered with your JAMB profile

This method works if you have access to the phone number you used to register for JAMB, and you want to use a different email address. This method is also the easiest and fastest, as it only requires you to send an SMS and pay a charge of N50.

To do this, follow these steps:

• Compose an SMS with the format: email your-email your-email (replace your-email with your actual email address).
• Send the SMS to 55019 using the phone number registered with your JAMB profile.
• A charge of N50 will be deducted for the service.
• You will receive an email from JAMB with your new password.
