JAMB CBT Centre
5 Facts About JAMB Profile Code Generation 2026

To ensure a smooth registration process and reduce last-minute challenges, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has informed prospective candidates that profile code generation for the 2026 UTME is now available ahead of the commencement of registration.

Candidates are advised to generate and safely keep their profile codes, as this will be required once UTME registration officially begins.

1. NIN Requirement For Profile Code Generation

JAMB reiterated that possession of a valid National Identification Number (NIN) is compulsory for UTME and Direct Entry registration. All candidate data used during registration is sourced directly from the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) database.

EducationNGR also learnt that candidates with errors in their NIN details, such as name or date of birth, are advised to correct them immediately to avoid issues during registration.

2. How To Generate Your JAMB Profile Code

To generate a profile code, candidates are required to send an SMS using their personal GSM number in the following format:

NIN (space) Your 11-digit NIN number
Send to 55019 or 66019

Example:
NIN 12345678901

Once successful, JAMB will send a ten-character profile code to the same phone number. This number will remain permanently linked to the candidate and will be used for all communications relating to registration, examination, and admission.

3. Important Notes For Candidates

  • The phone number used for profile code generation cannot be changed

  • Biodata is automatically retrieved from the NIMC database

  • Once generated, a profile code cannot be altered

4. Common Issues And What They Mean

Candidates may encounter the following responses during profile code generation:

  • Error 550/66019: Incorrect SMS format; ensure the message follows the required format

  • Number Already Registered: The phone number has been used previously; retrieve the original SIM or use a new number

  • Unable To Verify NIN: Temporary verification issue; candidates should wait and retry later

5. Warning On Use Of Henna

JAMB has issued a strong warning to candidates on the use of henna, also known as laali or lale. The application of henna on fingers can obstruct biometric verification.

In some cases, attempts to remove henna using chemicals have damaged fingerprint patterns, making biometric authentication difficult or impossible. Candidates are therefore advised to keep all ten fingers clean and intact throughout the registration and examination processes.

JAMB stressed that successful biometric verification is compulsory, as candidates without valid authentication will not be allowed access to the examination hall.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to complete all preliminary steps early and remain alert for further official updates from the Board.
