Candidates who need to update their phone number or email address on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) portal can do so through the appropriate channels provided by the examination body.
Keeping contact details up to date is important because JAMB uses candidates’ registered phone numbers and email addresses for important admission and examination-related communications.
How to Change Your Phone Number
Candidates seeking to change the phone number linked to their JAMB profile may be required to visit an accredited JAMB Professional Registration Centre or JAMB office, depending on the nature of the request.
Candidates should go with valid identification and relevant registration details to enable officials to verify their identity before processing the request.
Because changes to sensitive candidate information are subject to verification, applicants should avoid using unofficial agents or websites claiming to offer JAMB profile modification services.
How to Change Your Email Address
Candidates who want to update their email address should first log into the official JAMB portal and check whether the relevant profile-management option is available for their account.
Where the change cannot be completed online, the candidate may be required to visit a JAMB office or accredited centre for assistance.
Candidates should ensure that the new email address is active and accessible because important notifications, including admission-related information, may be sent through the registered contact details.
Steps to Take
- Visit the official JAMB website or an accredited JAMB centre.
- Provide your JAMB registration details and valid identification where required.
- Request an update of your phone number or email address.
- Complete any verification process required by JAMB.
- Confirm that the new details have been correctly updated.
- Keep your new contact details secure and accessible.
Candidates are also advised to be cautious when sharing their JAMB profile information. They should use only official JAMB channels and accredited centres when making changes to their records.
For the most current requirements, candidates should check the official JAMB website before visiting an office or registration centre, as procedures and verification requirements may change.
