In this post, I will discuss JAMB regularization in detail and also show you a step-by-step guide on how to register and apply for the Join Admission And Matriculation Board regularization from start to finish.
It will be so good if you can read to the end without skipping anything so that you don’t miss any important details.
If you follow me along, we will solve every problem with JAMB regularization right in this post.
JAMB Regularization
In simple terms, if you gained admission into any higher institution in Nigeria without using JAMB and you want to register for the National Youth Service Corps programme this regularization is meant for you.
We can say JAMB regularization is the process whereby anybody who did not gain admission into the higher institution through JAMB will have to register on the Jamb portal so as to partake in NYSC.
The NYSC scheme is a mandatory programme in Nigeria for all graduates and for anybody to participate, their names must be on the JAMB matriculation list.
So if by any means your name is not on the matriculation list, you have to apply for JAMB regularization to participate in NYSC.
If your name is not on the JAMB matriculation list, you will not be able to do your NYSC registration.
So, the only way to get your name on the matriculation list is by applying for regularization.
In addition, JAMB regularization was the former name. It’s now Jamb late registration. If you see me using JAMB late registration, I’m still talking about Regularization.
And also, the price for the application is 10k.you will have to make payment during the registration.
Who Needs Jamb Regularization?
This regularization is not for everybody. It’s for some certain set of people. The first thing you should do is check your name on the JAMB matriculation list. If your name is not there, then you need regularization.
Below are people that need it
- Those who got admission through pre-degree and did not have a JAMB registration number.
- Those who got admission into a higher institution through institution entrance exams without a JAMB registration number.
- If you entered the higher institution through a direct entry program, you will need to do regularization.
- Students who did UTME but the institution did not notify JAMB about their admission.
Those are the set of people that needs it. However, it’s important to check the matriculation list first.
3 Ways To Do Regularization
There are 3 different ways to process your jamb regularization.
1. By yourself
You can do it by yourself either on your smartphone or on a PC. There is a step-by-step guide below for you to follow if you will like to do it by yourself.

4. JAMB Office
If you go to any JAMB in your state, they can help you do the regularization without having to go through the stress by yourself.

In this section, I will provide answers to popular questions that people are searching for about JAMB regularization.
What are the requirements for JAMB Regularisation?
- A valid email address
- Correct Surname and first name.
- Available Mobile No
- State and LGA of Origin
- A password that you can easily remember
- Those are the requirements you need for this process.
What is JAMB regularization?
This is a process whereby those who gained admission to the University without a Jamb registration number or passing through JAMB will have to register in other to take part in NYSC.
Regularization is solely for you if you did not enter into the higher institution through JAMB.
How much does JAMB regularization cost?
N10,000 is what you will pay for JAMB late registration which is formally known as Jamb regularization.
You will make the payment during the regularization process. The price is 10k
Can JAMB regularization be done online?
Yes. But you still have to take the indemnity form to your institution and they will complete the process.
You will start the process online and then your school will complete the application.
Why is JAMB regularization compulsory?
Because it is compulsory that Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) clears every student that gained admission into any Higher institution in Nigeria.
Nobody should get admission into the university without going through JAMB. However, because of some other means like pre-degree, Direct entry and others, some graduates were able to avoid JAMB when they got admission into a higher institution.
However, if such a graduate wants to partake in NYSC, they will have to do JAMB regularization to get clearance by JAMB.
How many months does JAMB regularization take?
There is no official specific duration for it. However, it always takes a few days especially if your institution acts swiftly after you submit the indemnity form.
How do I know if I have done JAMB regularization?
Once you check your name on the JAMB portal and you will see the success message. This is evidence that you have successfully done your regularization.
When verifying your name, you can only get two responses. The success message and the name are not on the matriculation list. If you get the success message, it means you don’t have any issues.
Can I correct my date of birth after JAMB regularization?
Yes, you can correct it. After you have successfully done your regularization, if you notice your date of birth is wrong, you can either correct it after the NYSC registration or visit any jamb office close to you.
It can be hard and expensive. I will advise you to avoid any mistakes during the regularization process.
What is next after JAMB regularization?
Get ready for NYSC registration. Once your name is on the senate list and you no longer have any issues with JAMB, you can then proceed to do your online registration.
Can I get admission without JAMB regularization?
Yes you can get admission without JAMB but if you want to partake in the National Youths service corps programme, you will then have to do the regularization
Nobody will be able to do the NYSC registration without going through JAMB.
How many times can I do JAMB regularization?
You can only do it once. JAMB will give you just a chance for registration and after that, you will not have the ability to do it for the second time.
I don’t really know why you will want to do the regularization twice because if the first one worked, you don’t need to do it the second time.
What can cause a delay in JAMB regularization?
Apart from delay in payment which is rare, your institution can also delay the process. After you have done your part which is the registration, your institution will also have to do their part after you submit your indemnity form to them.
If they refuse to act on it or take any action, there might be some delay in the process.
How do I submit JAMB regularization?
You will submit it online. On the JAMB late registration portal. The process is online and you will do it right on JAMB’s official site.
You can follow the above instructions on how to create an account to register.
- Jamb regularization portal
- Click on https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/ValidateeMail
- And from there you can create and account and start the regularization process.
- This link will take you directly to the portal for regularization.
- Jamb regularization requirements
- An email address. Preferably, a Gmail.
- Your full name
- Phone Number
- State of Origin with LGA
- Password.
You need all these above details to kick off the regularization process.
If you have any more questions, use the comment box below. I will respond to all questions in the comment box below.
What about those that school outside Nigeria, do we still need to do the jamb regularization.
No. There are special requirements for them
on my ND certificate, they rearranged my name instead of omotoye mayowa iyanu, it was written as omotoye iyanu mayowa but wen I put in for HND I used the name as it suppose to be which is omotoye mayowa iyanu hope there won’t be any problem for my in camp
you can correct anything later
Is Jamb regularization still on?
I have someone who did regularization since last year, she’s been going from jamb office to school, till now no news from jamb is the problem from jamb or her institution?
Secondly I have my name coming b4 my surname in my jamb result, will that affect my regularization if I go for it or must I change it first b4 going for regularization
Contact your school about the jamb regularization. If your name is not correct, apply for Correction on your dashboard.
I really want to appreciate you Lola for this easy step and step guide. This really saved me of stress as I have done my regularization completely following the steps above.

Thanks for this wonderful article. I am an HND graduate, i got admission from JAMB. But the news is just everywhere here that everyone has to regularize their admissions. My question is DO HND GRADUATES WHO GOT ADMISSION FORM JAMB DURING THEIR OND(ND) ALSO NEED TO REGULARIZE THEIR ADMISSIONS?
Thanks, hoping to hear from you
If you got admission through jamb and you have a JAMB registration number, you don’t need regularization.
Pls Lola what about those that did the did the jamb regularization and our name did appear what are we to do ?
Just wait for your school Senate list like that
How long does it take jamb to process and bring out the pin ?
Maybe 2 weeks or less
Hello, I have done the jamb regularization, I have submitted this form to the school twice yet no admission given yet. I went to the nearest jamb office they told me probably the school did not bring it or it was omitted so I was directed back to school to go and resubmit. Though there is a mistake on my name a single letter is added, have thinking if that could be the reason have not been given admission. What can I do MA, how can this be rectify
Your school is in the best position to help you. You should tell them about the additional letter in the name. Your school will fix it for you. You just have to let them know about stress, how jamb directed you school and the mistake in the name
good day. I have done the jamb regularization and everything for the past 3weeks now and submitted it to my institution but i haven’t gotten any notification in my email from the jamb yet.
I don’t know what could be the cause of the delay.
Wait a week more and if you don’t get the mail…. Visit a JAMB Office
Please what about us that were given admission by our school during ND and going to another school for HND. Can we also follow those steps
Yes
Is jamb regularization for people who already have jamb registration number difference from people who do not have jamb registration number? In terms of prices?
It’s for people who did not get admission to School through jamb
Can regularization be done twice, if a mistake is found in the first one?
Just visit a close JAMB office to fix the mistake
I submitted my jamb regularization to jamb since December 2018 , till now no approval notification, I went and complain in their office on numerous occasions and they said I should be patient, am tire of waiting, can I do a new one
Keep disturbing them
The date of birth in my jamb regularization is 15th July 1994 and the date of birth in my waec, school and bvn is 16th July 1994, the difference is just the “day” 15th and 16th, the month and year are the same, will it affect anything during nysc registration?
It will not affect you
Then, Can I use any of the date of birth during nysc registration, 15th July 1994 or 16th July 1994
use your normal date of birth
Hello ma’am I did my jamb regularization on February this year and I have submitted the printout to my school but since them they haven’t send my pin for me and I want to leave for service by June…
They say they will send but when I’m so disturb ma.
Maybe you should wait or just give them a call to remind them that you are waiting for the pin.

Is there any thing that i can do, i made a correction for date of birth on jamb meanwhile i use yahoo mail, i couldn’t get a message, i proceed with my normal details in school to submit my premobilization since then i haven’t seen my name on nysc list, i went to my school to complain and i was told that they have uploaded my name to nysc batch B, someone told me that jamb have sent my details to nysc and my school have also sent my name to nysc of which the details contracdict each other. What can i do to resolve the issue
ask your school if they have sent it to NYSC
pls dear sorry if I may ask u this, i have a little issue bothering me,if I did my jamb regularization this month being 12th august 2019 will I still go for service on November this year.and how long dose it take for jamb to mobilize u
Do it fast, you can still meet up
Good day, please if you’ve experienced this before kindly help out with how you did it. In 2010 when I was registering for WAEC, my principal shortened my name from Oluwatobiloba to Olutobi because on the registration form it was stated that names must not be more than 20 words. When registering for jamb, I did it by proxy submitted my credentials for the Cafe personnel, he used the name on my waec print out result for registering me for jamb.
long story short, I was offered admission in another institution not by Jamb, then I did jamb regularization in 2018, when filling the regularization form I stated Oluwatobiloba but i used the my previous jamb registration number, when the admission letter came out it was Olutobi that came out not Oluwatobiloba.
I’ve done affidavit to support, but I will be going for NYSC and I’ll be using my Jamb Registration number during NySC registration.
is the name not going to be a problem when registering for Nysc? my surname and middle name are not affected .
The name your school uploaded on the senate list is what matters. And even if the error still show up during NYSC registration, there is a easy provision to correct it.
Hi, pls I need help have done my jamb regularization and have submitted the form they printed for me during d registration to the school where I did my OND bcox am in another school for my HND, so av gotten d approval msg frm the jamb buh the main issue now is on my jamb profile the name on it is Ayeni Ife Desola

Hi, I did my jamb regularization in February and reason for the regularization is that my score was below cutoff because i wrote jamb in 2016. So I used that registration number. I used three names when I wrote my jamb. But when am doing the regularization they made a mistake and wrote two names only. I complained to the jamb staff and he told when the admission is giving I will go back for correction of name and put the name that I didn’t put. Another man told me that since I used three names when I was writing the jamb my admission will contain three names that is not a problem.
Is a little bit confused and am scared plsss can someone help me and explain my problem for me plsss. Because am scared maybe it will resulted to dig problem for me or should I wait and see what will happen maybe since I used three names when I was writing the jamb so when the admission is out it will contain three names
