How to Get NIN for JAMB Registration 2022

Over the years, there has been news of multiple registrations for UTME. This happened because there was no means to trace the registrations to specific candidates.

Hence, JAMB came up with a new development to solve this problem.

Since the National Identification Number (NIN) can be used to trace the identities of candidates, there will be little or no cases of multiple registrations again, as the system will be able to automatically detect them.

To register for your National Identification Number, follow this procedure;

• Your Bank Verification Number (BVN), and some other details will be discussed here.
• Go to any NIMC registration center. NIMC uses different locations for the NIN registration such as banks, offices, etc.
• Fill in the bio-data correctly –  Your full name, your BVN, your date of birth, your gender, your next of kin, phone number, house address, etc.
• Biometrics capture will be carried out at the registration center which includes your picture and ten finger print capture
• After doing all of this, you will be told to append your signature to verify it’s you.
• Then, you will be given a date to come back to pick up your NIN slip. This slip will contain your passport photograph, your full name, and your National Identification Number (NIN).
• When it’s your date, go and pick up your slip and you are all good to go or dial the NIN USSD code (*346#) on your registered phone number

How to Generate JAMB Profile Code 2022

There are two ways to generate your Profile Code

• The USSD Method
• The SMS Method. 

USSD Method of creating UTME/DE profile Code – How to Obtain JAMB Profile Code Through USSD

To get your Profile code using the USSD Method, simply dial *55019*1*NIN#. 

An SMS containing the full name used in your NIN registration, as well as your unique profile code will be automatically sent to your phone number as an SMS.

SMS Method of generating UTME/DE profile Code – How to Get JAMB profile code via SMS

To generate your Profile code using this method, send the NIN number to 55019 or 66019 via SMS. Example NIN 12345678912 to 55019. 

Immediately, you will receive an SMS containing your Full name and also your unique profile code.

Please ensure you send the SMS with the phone number you want to use for your JAMB registration. Any SMS you send to 55019 or 66019 costs 50 naira each.

After Getting JAMB Profile Code, What Next ?

Once you receive your 10 digit profile code from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, the next thing to do is to proceed with your UTME/DE registration.

However, before visiting an accredited JAMB center, you have to purchase a JAMB e-pin first. Your E-Pin will be used to start your registration at the Center.

Closing Date for Creating Your JAMB Profile

Once the registration for JAMB 2022 ends (26th March 2022), you can no longer get the code. You can’t even buy it if you think money will solve the problem.

JAMB Profile Code Issues and Solutions

I have sent my NIN to 55019 multiple times, but I haven’t still received my Profile code?

There are different reasons why this can happen. Firstly, it can be because you have insufficient airtime on your phone.

Remember I said you must have at least 50 naira airtime on your phone to send an SMS to 55019 or 66019.

Secondly, you won’t be sent your profile code if you have used that phone number for previous JAMB registrations.

If you have used the phone number before, simply use another one to generate your profile code.

There is a mistake in the full name sent to me, what should I do?

The name which will be sent to you from 55019 is the one used for your NIN registration.

So, if you notice any mistake in it, JAMB has no business with it. You have to report to any NIMC registration center and make a complaint about the name.

I received the invalid character found error message, what is the solution?

This happens when you include special characters like “, &, ( etc in the message sent to 55019 or 66019.

You are required to send only your National Identification Number to 55019 or 66019.

Including any other character will render the submission invalid.

I received the Record not found for the NIN error message, what should be done?

If this happens, it is most likely you have sent the wrong National Identification Number to the number.

So, you have to check again and resend the NIN to 55019 or 66019. If you keep getting this message, kindly visit the nearest NIMC center to make a complaint.

You won’t be required to pay anything for this correction.

I got the error message that my NIN passport is not valid, what should I do?

This can happen if the passport used for your NIN registration is not clear enough.

To resolve this issue, visit the nearest NIMC center and make necessary corrections. You won’t be required to pay anything for this correction.

Please note that getting your profile code does not mean you have completed your JAMB UTME/DE registration. It is just a step forward.

You have to proceed to any JAMB Accredited Center to start and complete your registration making use of your profile code and ePIN.
