JAMB reopens NIN alignment service today for candidates to fix biodata errors
According to NewsJAMB, JAMB has reopened its NIN Alignment Service effective today, October 16, 2026, allowing eligible candidates to correct discrepancies between their JAMB biodata and National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) records. The service, run in partnership with NIMC, requires candidates to first resolve any errors directly with NIMC before submitting corrections through JAMB's portal.
This is explicitly described as a one-time opportunity, with JAMB emphasizing that approval is not automatic even after submission. Candidates must carefully review all required changes with NIMC prior to application, as mistakes could affect admission processing. The service targets students preparing for UTME or direct entry applications who have noticed mismatches in names, dates of birth, or other personal details between the two databases.
Officials advise acting promptly since the reopening may be temporary, and remind users that aligning records is crucial for smooth registration and result verification. Have you verified your JAMB and NIMC details match, and will you utilize this window to correct any errors before the service potentially closes?
