The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reopened its NIN (National Identification Number) Alignment Service, allowing eligible candidates to correct discrepancies between their JAMB exam registration records and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) data. The service is designed to help candidates “align” their personal details where there are mismatches.
Multiple outlets report that JAMB frames the process as a one-time opportunity for candidates whose records do not match NIMC information. Candidates are advised to ensure their biodata is corrected with NIMC before applying for alignment. They are also directed to follow JAMB’s verification steps and provide the relevant supporting information or documents needed for the alignment.
The reporting focuses on practical guidance for affected candidates, including eligibility, the one-time nature of the correction window, and the need to correct underlying identity details at NIMC first. Overall, the outlets present the reopening as a procedural update intended to reduce errors that could affect candidates’ admission processes.
