What is the JAMB Profile Code?
The JAMB profile code is a unique 10-digit number that is generated by JAMB for each candidate who intends to register for the UTME or DE. The profile code is linked to your National Identification Number (NIN), which is a mandatory requirement for the registration. The profile code helps JAMB to verify your identity, access your personal information, and process your application.
Why Do You Need the JAMB Profile Code 2025/2026?
You need the JAMB profile code for the following reasons:
- To create and complete your JAMB profile on the JAMB portal, which is necessary for the registration.
- To purchase the JAMB e-PIN, which is the payment voucher for the registration fee.
- To print your JAMB examination slip, which contains your exam date, time, and venue.
- To check your JAMB result and admission status.
How to Get the JAMB Profile Code 2025/2026?
There are two ways to get the JAMB profile code: through SMS or USSD. You can use any of these methods as long as you have a valid NIN and an active phone number. Here are the steps to follow for each method:
How to Get the JAMB Profile Code Through SMS 2025/2026
- Send “NIN” followed by a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019. For example, NIN 12345678901.
- You will receive a confirmation message from JAMB containing your profile code and full name. For example, 6257271039 JOHN DOE.
- Save the message and keep your profile code safe.
How to Get the JAMB Profile Code Through USSD 2025/2026
- Dial 550191NIN# or 660191NIN# from your phone. For example, 550191*12345678901#.
- You will receive a confirmation message from JAMB containing your profile code and full name. For example, 6257271039 JOHN DOE.
- Save the message and keep your profile code safe.
What is the Deadline for the JAMB Profile Code Creation 2025/2026?
The deadline for the JAMB profile code creation is Wednesday, March 5th, 2025. This is also the deadline for the JAMB UTME/DE registration. You are advised to create your profile code as early as possible to avoid any delays or difficulties.
What are the Guidelines for the JAMB Profile Code Creation 2025/2026?
Here are some guidelines to follow when creating your JAMB profile code:
- Make sure you have a valid NIN before you start the process. You can get your NIN from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) or any of its licensed agents.
- Use the same phone number and NIN that you used to register for your NIN. Do not use another person’s phone number or NIN.
- Ensure that your phone number has enough airtime to send the SMS or dial the USSD code. The service charge is N50 per request.
- Do not send multiple requests or use multiple phone numbers. You can only have one profile code per NIN.
- If you do not receive your profile code within 24 hours, contact JAMB support via phone, email, or social media.
What are the Common Issues and Solutions for the JAMB Profile Code Creation?
Some of the common issues and solutions for the JAMB profile code creation are:
- If you receive a message that says “Your NIN is not registered with NIMC”, it means that your NIN is not valid or has not been verified by NIMC. You need to visit the nearest NIMC office or agent to rectify the issue.
- If you receive a message that says “Your NIN is already in use by another candidate”, it means that your NIN has been used by someone else to create a profile code. You need to report the case to JAMB or NIMC for investigation and resolution.
- If you receive a message that says “Your request has been received and is being processed”, it means that your profile code is being generated and will be sent to you soon. You need to wait patiently and check your phone regularly for the message.
- If you receive a message that says “Invalid NIN format”, it means that you did not enter your NIN correctly. You need to resend the message with the correct format: NIN space 11-digit NIN.
- If you receive a message that says “Network error”, it means that there is a problem with the network or the service provider. You need to retry the request later or use another network.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the JAMB profile code is vital for the 2025/2026 UTME/DE registration. You can get your profile code by sending your NIN to 55019 or 66019 via SMS or USSD. You need to create your profile code before the Wednesday, March 5th, 2025 deadline. You must also follow the guidelines and solutions for creating the profile code.
