In the dynamic landscape of educational assessments, ensuring that your personal information is accurate on your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) profile is pivotal for a seamless registration process. In this guide, we will explore the intricacies of updating or changing crucial details such as name, contact information, and date of birth (DOB) for JAMB in 2025.
How to Change Your JAMB Details for 2025
1. Correcting JAMB Name Details
Making minor spelling corrections to your name during JAMB registration is a straightforward process. Whether it’s a change from “Mari” to “Mary” or “Danel” to “Daniel,” you can raise a ticket through the JAMB support center online or visit an accredited JAMB registration CBT center. However, it’s crucial to note that significant alterations, such as changing the entire name, are not permissible.

2. Change of Name Procedure for 2022 JAMB Candidates and Below
For candidates who wrote JAMB in 2022 or earlier and need to change their name, an indemnity form must be completed, submitted to the institution, and sent back to JAMB. This is a critical step to ensure that the name change is accurately reflected in JAMB records.
3. Important Note on Name Changes
Even if you legally change your name with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) after JAMB, the board will not automatically update your records. A court affidavit alone is insufficient; the prescribed procedures must be followed to update your information with JAMB.
4. Changing Date of Birth
Changing the date of birth is generally not allowed, except in error-evident cases. A change in the date of birth incurs a fee of 15,000 Naira at an accredited JAMB CBT registration center. It’s crucial to update this information first on NIMC before integrating it into your JAMB profile.

5. Bio Details and NIMC Integration
Before registering for JAMB 2025, it’s highly recommended to update your bio details with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). Ensuring consistency between your O’level or A’level names and your NIN details reduces the likelihood of discrepancies during the registration process.
6. Updating Emails and Phone Numbers
Once used, emails and phone numbers for JAMB cannot be changed. In case of mistakes, raising a ticket to have the profile with incorrect details stepped down allows you to start fresh with accurate information.
Final Thoughts on JAMB Profile Updates
Proactively managing your personal information is instrumental in ensuring a seamless JAMB registration process. Follow the outlined steps to keep your name, date of birth, and contact details up-to-date for JAMB 2025. Providing accurate and complete details during registration safeguards against integration issues or complications arising from discrepancies. Stay informed and proactive to make your JAMB journey as smooth as possible.

Hello , good day
I got admission in 2019, and later found out that at registration of jamb, my middle name wasn’t added , have submitted an indemnity form through my school but haven’t got an update in my jamb portal. Hearing that this can affect me at nysc registration and there are no addition of names in jamb . Please sir I plead that this situation can be considered as the mistake has been done and can affect the future. Have seen a lot of people in this situation, please help us jamb board.
