JAMB Registration Number: Where to Find and Retrieve It

Your JAMB registration number is required for many services, including result checks, admission processes, and support requests. If you lose it, you may face delays in key admission steps.

JAMB advises candidates to protect profile and registration details from fraudsters, and official support/payment channels include a retrieval option for registration numbers.

What is JAMB Registration Number?

JAMB registration number is the unique identifier assigned to your UTME or DE application after successful registration. It appears on your registration printout, exam slip, and related JAMB documents.

Because this number is linked to your records, keep it private and use only official JAMB channels to retrieve or verify it.

Requirements and Key Information

• Primary documents: Registration slip, exam slip, and profile records may display your registration number.
• Official retrieval route: JAMB Payment Services lists “Retrieve Registration Number” as an available service.
• Security: Do not share your registration number and profile code with unknown agents.
• Support path: Use official guidance via https://www.jamb.gov.ng/FAQ for escalation.

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Check your existing JAMB documents

1. Open your saved registration slip copy.
2. Check your UTME examination slip and related printouts.
3. Look for your unique candidate number and registration entry.

Step 2: Check your e-Facility account

1. Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/.
2. Log in with your registered email and password.
3. Review your dashboard and profile sections for candidate details.

Step 3: Use official retrieval service if needed

1. Visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng/payment-Services.
2. Select the service related to registration number retrieval.
3. Follow payment and identity confirmation instructions exactly.

Step 4: Save and secure the number

1. Store the number in at least two safe places.
2. Avoid posting it in public groups or social media comments.
3. Use only verified JAMB links for future services.

Important Notes

Loss of registration details is common during admission season, so early backup is important. Fraud attempts also increase during result and admission windows.

• Never pay unofficial agents for account access or “fast retrieval.”
• Cross-check every link before entering credentials.
• If you suspect account compromise, use JAMB support directions immediately.
