Your email address linked to your JAMB profile is crucial for receiving important notifications from JAMB and your chosen institution. However, there may be situations where you need to update this email address. This guide outlines three effective methods to change the email address on your JAMB profile for the 2025/2026 session.

Reasons to Change Your Email Address

• You forgot the password to your email account and cannot recover it.
• There was an error in the email address provided during registration.
• You used an unreliable email service and did not receive JAMB notifications.
• You prefer a different email address for personal or security reasons.

Regardless of the reason, changing your email on the JAMB profile is possible. Below are the available methods:

Method 1: Create a New Email Account with the Same Address

This method works if the email address on your JAMB profile is still available for registration.

Steps:

1. Visit the email service provider’s website (e.g., Gmail).
2. Click on “Create new email” or “Sign up.”
3. Enter the email address linked to your JAMB profile and set a new password.
4. Verify your phone number and accept the terms and conditions.

If successful, you now have a new email account matching the one on your JAMB profile.

Method 2: Visit a JAMB Office or Accredited Center

This method is ideal if the email address on your JAMB profile is unavailable or you want to use a different one. A fee of ₦500 is required.

Steps:

1. Visit the nearest JAMB office or accredited center.
2. Request a JAMB Email Linking Form and pay ₦500.
3. Provide your valid email address, JAMB registration number, and profile code.
4. Fill out the form, submit it, and complete the thumbprinting process.
5. A JAMB officer will process your request via the JAMB CAPS portal.

Once processed, you will receive a confirmation email from JAMB containing your new password.

Method 3: Use the SMS Option

This is the fastest and easiest method, provided you have access to the phone number linked to your JAMB profile. A service fee of ₦50 applies.

Steps:

1. Compose an SMS in this format: email your-email your-email (replace “your-email” with your actual email address).
2. Send the SMS to 55019 using the phone number registered with your JAMB profile.
3. A fee of ₦50 will be deducted.
4. You will receive an email from JAMB with your new password.

Changing the email address on your JAMB profile is possible, but it may involve effort and a small fee. Depending on your situation, choose one of the three methods explained above. By following the steps, you can ensure your JAMB profile is updated with a valid email address for seamless communication.
