What Should I do if I Don’t Receive my Profile Code After Sending my NIN to 55019?

If you are planning to register for the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations, you need to have a profile code. This is a 10-digit unique code that links your personal information to your JAMB records. Without this code, you cannot proceed with your JAMB registration.

To get your profile code, you need to send your National Identification Number (NIN) by SMS to 55019 or 66019. The format is NIN 12345678901, where 12345678901 is your NIN. You should receive a confirmation message from JAMB containing your profile code and full name.

However, some candidates have reported that they did not receive their profile code after sending their NIN to 55019 or 66019. This can be very frustrating and confusing, especially if you are running out of time to register for JAMB.

In this blog post, we will explain why you may not receive your profile code after sending your NIN to 55019 or 66019, and what you can do to resolve this issue.

There are several possible reasons why you may not receive your profile code after sending your NIN to 55019 or 66019. Some of the most common ones are:

• You do not have enough credit on your SIM card. You need at least N100, although the service charge is N50.
• Your SIM card is new and has not been registered. You need to register your SIM card before using it for JAMB.
• Your SIM card has not been linked with your NIN. You need to link your SIM card with your NIN before sending it to 55019 or 66019.
• The network of your service provider is poor or congested. You need to wait for a better network signal or try again later.
• There is a glitch or error from JAMB. You need to be patient and wait for JAMB to fix the issue.
