Login to JAMB portal using registration number ( A must read)

Logging into the JAMB portal can seem complicated, especially for first-time users, but with clear steps and the right credentials, you can access your results, print your admission letters, and monitor your admission status without stress. 

While most sources mention using email and password, recent updates let you use your JAMB registration number directly, making the process simpler and more user-friendly. 

Where to access the JAMB portal

To begin, visit the JAMB e-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng.

This is the only official site for e-facility registration, login, profile updates, and monitoring your admission status. 

Ensure the address starts with “https://”—this signals a secure, verified connection. If you access a different domain, especially a .ng alternative, be cautious. 

Bookmark the correct site to avoid phishing threats or fake portals.

Can you use your registration number to log in?

Yes, you can. JAMB allows users to log in using their registration number, although the system normally prompts for email and password. 

You can enter your registration number in the username field, followed by your password. 

If it’s your first time logging in, your temporary password is often your surname in lowercase (as used during UTME registration). 

Many users confirm this works well during initial access.

Where to find your temporary password

Locate the email from JAMB sent to your registered email address after you created your e-Facility account. 

This email contains your login details, including your username (your registration number or email) and temporary password. 

If forgotten, simply click “Forgot Password?” on the login page to reset via email . 

Keep this email safe, it’s your ticket to accessing results without repeated hassles.

Step-by-step login using registration number

Follow these steps:

1. Visit the e-Facility portal at the official URL.

2. In the username field, enter your JAMB registration number.

3. In the password field, enter your temporary password (usually your surname in lowercase) or your customized one if changed.

4. Click “Login” and you’ll be redirected to your dashboard for all JAMB services. This method bypasses email login entirely and is ideal if you’ve lost access to your email account.

What to do if login fails

If logging in with registration number doesn’t work, try switching your login ID to your registered email address and your password.

Some users report the registration-number method fails if their account was updated or their email was changed later.

If both fail, use “Forgot Password?” to reset.

You’ll get a reset link in your email to choose a new password and regain access.

Why this method matters

Logging in using your JAMB registration number simplifies access, especially for people who forget their email address or no longer have access to it.

It ensures continuity for those who need their portal for checking CAPS status, printing admission letters, or updating biodata.

JAMB’s multi-login compatibility isn’t always clearly communicated, so this insight will save testers from getting locked out unnecessarily.

Keeping your credentials secure

For safety, never share your password—but change the default one from surname to a strong personal password immediately after first login.

Always log out after use, especially on public or shared devices.

If you suspect your account has been compromised, reset your password and notify JAMB via their support channels.

Logging in via mobile or desktop

The JAMB portal works well across devices. Whether you use a PC, tablet, or smartphone, just ensure you’re connected to a reliable internet network.

For mobile users, opening the portal via browser is recommended, as JAMB does not offer an official app.

Always clear your cache or use private mode on shared devices to protect your account information.
