Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Your JAMB Profile for 2025/2026 UTME Registration
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create your JAMB profile for 2025/2026 registration:
Step 1: Gather Your Information
You will need to have your National Identification Number (NIN) handy. Make sure that the phone number you plan to use to create your profile has not been used by another person to register for UTME/DE in the past. Also, ensure that the number is not a post-paid or special bundle package as it will not work unless it is specially loaded with call credit.
Step 2: Create Your Profile
- Send your NIN by text (SMS) to either 55019 or 66019 from your personal GSM number.
- In the text message, write the word “NIN” then leave a space and add your 11-digit NIN.
- The format should be NIN 00123456789. Remember to include the space between the word “NIN” and your 11-digit NIN.
- Once you send the message, you will receive a Profile Code of 10 characters on the same telephone (SIM) number. Returning candidates from previous years will receive the same profile code on the phone number they had used previously.
Step 3: Save Your Profile Code
The profile code you receive is important as it will be used in all future transactions with JAMB. Make sure to save it in a safe place and remember the phone number you used to create your profile as it is the only means of subsequent communications by the Board.
Step 4: Use your Profile
Once you have created your profile, you can use it for all your future transactions with JAMB, including application, examination, and admission.
Tips to Remember
- The phone number used to create your profile will be automatically tied to your name and will be used in all communications relating to your 2025 or future application, examination, and admission.
- Returning candidates from previous years will still receive the same profile code on the phone number they had used previously.
- The profile created remains the same for candidates either in their present or future transactions with the Board.
- Always remember the phone number used as it is the only means of subsequent communications by the Board.
