JAMB Regularization | Procedures and Guides on How to Apply
Are you curious about JAMB regularization and how it can benefit you? Look no further! In this article, we will break down everything you need to know about JAMB regularization and its importance.
What is JAMB Regularisation?
JAMB Regularization is the official process that acknowledges the admission of students who were not initially processed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This is typically for students who secured admission into a tertiary institution but are missing a JAMB registration number or admission letter.
The main goal of JAMB Regularization is to ensure that all students admitted to tertiary institutions are properly registered with JAMB, allowing them to access the benefits of being a registered JAMB candidate, such as printing their admission letter, participating in the NYSC program, and accessing government scholarships and grants.
To start the JAMB Regularization process, students must create a JAMB profile, fill out an indemnity form, and get it endorsed by the Dean of Student Affairs or a similar official at their institution. The form is then submitted to the nearest JAMB office, along with a processing fee of around N10,000.
Once approved, students can print their admission letter and enjoy the perks of being a registered JAMB candidate.

FAQs
What is JAMB regularization and who needs it?
JAMB regularization is a process designed to reconcile a student’s admission with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) records. It is mostly required by students who were admitted into higher institutions without JAMB admission or those whose admission details do not reflect on the JAMB portal. This includes part-time, direct entry, sandwich, or those admitted through other means without JAMB involvement.
How can I apply for JAMB regularization?
To apply for JAMB regularization, visit the JAMB e-facility portal (https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng), log in with your JAMB profile, click on “Late Application (Regularization)”, and fill in the required personal and academic details. You must also provide the correct admission details as approved by your institution. After submitting, print the indemnity form and submit it to your school for approval, after which JAMB processes and approves the application.
What documents are needed for JAMB regularization?
You will need a valid JAMB profile, O’level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB), admission letter from your institution, birth certificate or affidavit, ND/NCE result (for DE applicants), and the filled indemnity form signed by your school. These documents help verify your admission and personal information.
How long does JAMB regularization take, and what happens after approval?
JAMB regularization typically takes between 2 to 8 weeks, depending on how quickly your institution processes and forwards the indemnity form to JAMB. Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email from JAMB with your new JAMB registration number, which is essential for NYSC mobilization or further academic processing.
