How to Recover JAMB Profile Code 2025/2026: The JAMB profile code is a unique 10-digit number that you need to register for the JAMB UTME or DE exam. It is also required for other JAMB-related services, such as checking your admission status, printing your result slip, or correcting your data.
But what if you lose or forget your JAMB profile code? How can you recover it and continue with your registration or other processes? Don’t worry, in this post, we will show you how to retrieve your JAMB profile code easily and quickly.
What is JAMB Profile Code?
The JAMB profile code is a unique number assigned by JAMB to candidates during their registration process for the UTME or DE. It is provided for first-time JAMB registrants, and those who have previously registered but have forgotten it can retrieve it.
The JAMB profile code is linked to your National Identification Number (NIN), which is mandatory for JAMB registration. You need to send your NIN by SMS to 55019 or 66019 from your personal phone number to generate your JAMB profile code. You will receive an SMS containing your profile code and your full name as registered with NIN.
The JAMB profile code is different from your JAMB registration number, which is given to you after you complete your registration at a JAMB CBT center. The JAMB registration number is a 10-character alphanumeric code that identifies you as a JAMB candidate. You need both your JAMB profile code and your JAMB registration number to access your JAMB portal and perform various tasks.
How to Recover JAMB Profile Code 2025/2026
If you have lost or forgotten your JAMB profile code, you can recover it by following these steps:
- Make sure you have enough airtime (at least N50) on the same phone number you used to generate your JAMB profile code.
- Send “RESEND” to 55019 or 66019 as a text message from the same phone number.
- You will receive an SMS containing your JAMB profile code and your full name as registered with NIN.
- Save the SMS or write down your JAMB profile code somewhere safe.
Alternatively, you can also recover your JAMB profile code by using the USSD code *55019*1*NIN# or *66019*1*NIN#. Just dial the code from the same phone number you used to generate your JAMB profile code and follow the instructions on the screen. You will receive an SMS containing your JAMB profile code and your full name as registered with NIN.
Conclusion
The JAMB profile code is a vital number that you need to register for the JAMB UTME or DE exam and access other JAMB-related services. If you lose or forget your JAMB profile code, you can easily recover it by sending “RESEND” to 55019 or 66019 or using the USSD code 550191NIN# or 660191NIN# from the same phone number you used to generate it. Make sure you have enough airtime and your NIN handy before you try to recover your JAMB profile code.
