How to Retrieve JAMB Profile Code

Retrieve JAMB Profile Code via SMS (Fastest Method)

Sending an SMS to JAMB’s dedicated short codes is the quickest and most reliable way to recover your profile code. It only requires your phone number linked to your National Identification Number (NIN).

Steps to follow:

1. Ensure your SIM card is registered in your name with your NIN linked (mandatory for JAMB SMS services).
2. Send the text RESEND from the same mobile number used during registration to 55019 or 66019.
3. JAMB will reply almost instantly with your profile code via SMS.

This method bypasses the need for internet access and is safe, official, and supported directly by JAMB.

Retrieve JAMB Profile Code From Your Email

While emails are not the primary means to get your profile code, if you linked a valid email address when registering, you may find your profile code in official JAMB emails.

• Search your inbox for emails from JAMB around your registration date.
• Use keywords such as “JAMB Profile Code,” “JAMB Registration,” or “JAMB Confirmation.”
• If you haven’t linked your email yet, visit a JAMB-accredited CBT center to request linking your email to your profile for future alerts and recoveries.

This method is useful for those who keep well-organized email accounts and have linked their profiles.

Retrieve Your Profile Code via JAMB Office or Support

If you cannot get your profile code via SMS or email, visiting or contacting a JAMB office is the next best option. Staff can verify your identity and help recover your details.

Notable JAMB offices include:

Use official contacts or visit during office hours (typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday) for assistance.

How to Retrieve JAMB Registration Number

Check Your JAMB Exam Slip

One of the first and easiest steps to retrieve your registration number is to locate your JAMB exam slip because it includes this important detail.

If you’ve misplaced your slip, check places where you usually keep important documents. The registration number is typically printed prominently on the slip’s front page. This number is critical for tracking your results and admissions process.

Retrieve via JAMB Result Portal

You can retrieve your registration number by logging into the official JAMB CAPS (Central Admission Processing System) portal:

• Go to www.jamb.gov.ng.
• Log in with your email address and password.
• Click on “Admission Status” or “Profile” sections to see your registered details including your registration number.

This method is perfect if you remember your login credentials but misplaced your number.

Visit a JAMB Office

When online recovery fails or you have forgotten your login details, visiting a JAMB office is a guaranteed way to retrieve your registration number.

Be sure to carry a valid ID and any relevant documents to prove your identity. JAMB officials can then assist you in recovering your registration number in person.
