- Forgetting your email password and being unable to recover it.
- Making a mistake during registration.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how to change your email address on your profile and link it to the JAMB portal.
Methods for Changing Your Email Address on Profile 2025/2026
Method 1: Create a New Email Account with the Same Address as on Your Profile
If the email address on your JAMB profile is available for registration, you can create a new account with the same address. For instance, if your registered email is example@gmail.com, and it’s not taken by someone else, you can create a new Gmail account with the same address.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the email service provider’s website (e.g., Gmail).
- Click on “Create a new email” or “Sign up.”
- Enter the email address from your JAMB profile and set a new password.
- Verify your phone number and accept the terms and conditions.
Congratulations, you’ve created a new email account linked to your JAMB profile.
Method 2: Visit a JAMB Office or Accredited Center for Email Linking
If the email address on your JAMB profile is unavailable for registration, or if you wish to change it to a different email, you can visit a JAMB office or an accredited center to request an email linking form.
Follow these steps:
- Visit a JAMB office or an accredited center near you.
- Request an email linking form and pay a fee of N500.
- Provide your valid email address, JAMB registration number, and profile code.
- Fill out the form, submit it, and affix your thumbprint.
- A JAMB officer will process the email linking through the CAPS portal.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email from JAMB with your new password.
Method 3: Send an SMS with your email address to 55019.
If you still have access to the phone number registered with your profile and want to change your email address, sending an SMS is the quickest and easiest option. This method costs N50 and is processed almost immediately.
Follow these steps:
Compose an SMS in the format email your-email@domain.com (replace “your-email” with your desired email address).
- Send the SMS to 55019 using the phone number linked to your profile.
- An N50 charge will be deducted for the service.
- JAMB will send you an email with your new password.
Changing the email address linked to your profile can be a straightforward process, depending on the method you choose. Whether you want to use the same email address, opt for a new one, or send an SMS for a quick update, there are multiple ways to complete the change. Follow the steps outlined in this guide to ensure that your profile is linked to your preferred email address.
