JAMB outlines process for changing registered phone numbers and emails

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has introduced a new process for candidates who need to change the phone number or email address registered on the JAMB portal, Punch Nigeria reports. The change affects candidates whose existing contact details are no longer available or need to be corrected. The board’s procedure sets out the steps applicants must follow before the details can be amended.

According to the report, candidates are required to obtain a court affidavit as part of the process. The affidavit is listed among the documents or actions needed to support a request to alter the registered information. Punch Nigeria published a guide explaining the process, including the requirement for the affidavit.

The supplied report does not provide further details on the remaining steps, the applicable fees, processing times or the circumstances in which JAMB may approve a request. Candidates seeking to update their phone number or email address should therefore follow the procedure issued for the JAMB portal and provide the required documentation.
