Invalid Format & Unable To Verify NIN
If you are getting an Invalid Format or Failed to Verify NIN, then the following guide will be of help to you.
- NIN must be length = 11
- Make sure your NIN is correctly linked with your number
- You can use any SIM Card So long it is registered with your name
- Do not use Sim registered with another name
- Make sure the NIN Name Matches the name on your SIM Card
- Ensure to have N100 or above airtime on your Phone
- Make sure you Typed the Correct NIN Number
- Did I put more than one Space between your NIN and my NIN Number?
Someone Wrote: Please, I’m trying to get my Profile Code and I already have my NIN. I’m using Etisalat and the response I got was “Failed to verify NIN”. Then I was told not to use 9mobile. I was advised to use my mum’s MTN SIM since I have no other Sim, but still getting the same response.
My original SIM was registered by her in her name though and I was wondering if it could affect my getting the Profile code since it’s her name on the SIM and not mine.
If you followed all the steps above, Jamb should send you Some Code. After getting the code, the next thing is getting an E-PIN. NIN Must be length = 11.
How To Avoid SMS Issues Creating Profile
- Don’t add a comma between NIN & NIN Number.
- Don’t add space after your NIN Number
- 50 Naira will be deducted from your Sim. Make sure you have above N50 Naira airtime on your Mobile phone before sending the SMS.
- One Phone number can be used by one candidate only. Don’t share the same number with your brother or sister. They should get their own sim and send their own message.
- Make sure your phone number is linked with NIN before you send NIN to 55019.
- Don’t use your dad, mom or brother’s phone number.

Generated Profile Code Names
Another possible error message when trying to generate a Jamb profile code is, “Already generated Profile Code Names Does Not match Names you enrolled with NIMC.
It simply means the Name you used to register your SIM Card is different from the name you used to register NIN.
Your profile name is your SIM Card name. It should match your NINC name, i.e the name you entered while enrolling NIN should match with your SIM Registration name.
- Did you register your SIM yourself?
- Are you using someone’s SIM Card?
- Are you sure you are using your NIN Number?
Some persons claimed that they were able to register Jamb profile even when the name on their NIN Slip and SIM Card is different. But for most persons, they get rejected.

hello sir.
I am trying to create a profile for 3 students using my tab and even my laptop. Two students profile creation was successful, but the last student creation has been given me problem for the past three days. It is either the link will come out with the error “this site cannot be reached” or error 404. i downloaded an apps from sidmach technology and i was able to create for 2 student but on the apps creating profile for this particular student have proved abortive. I had even created another email for the said student which means she has two codes now but the problem is still not solved. please what do you advises me to do. she now have gmail and yahoo mail.
Isaac Inegbenehi says
Jamb official website have been experiencing server error for about a week now. It works and fails in minutes. Sometimes, you may not be able to do something on the site for up to 10 minutes before the problem starts again.
It is neither your fault nor the fault of the student. The solution is to keep trying the link. If the problem persists, you may want to contact me personally.
Isaac says
No. I paid the amount for my form fees. Please, hope when going for my E-pin and other materials needed for my exam. in the Bank, that’s where the money will be deducted from?
Isaac Inegbenehi says
My question is this, who did you pay the money to and where did you pay the money?
sebby says
pls if u use ur parents email will it affect you in any way
Isaac Inegbenehi says
Use an email you can access at anytime. It will not affect you so long you can access it. However, If you have not created the profile yet, then create a personal Gmail account for it. In two minutes you are done setting up a gmail.
Isaac says
