JAMB registration for 2023 will close six (6) weeks after the commencement of the sale of JAMB form . The registration will Start on Saturday, 14th January and close on Wednesday, 22nd February, 2023. For this reason, I have provided a step by step guide for candidates that may find it difficult to register below:
So for all who wants to know when is 2023 JAMB registration starting, it will start on Saturday 14th January 2023.
For any person to be registered for UTME/DE, he/she must supply his/her National Identity Number (NIN). It is therefore mandatory for participation in the 2023 registration exercise.
As from Thursday, 15th April 2021, candidates will no longer be required to provide any email address during registration.
Consequently, candidates will have the following options to access their profile during or after registration.
(1) Mobile APP on the candidates’ phone
(2) On the 55019 option (being designed) for example admission status checking, acceptance of admission etc on their profile.
At the conclusion of the 2023 UTME/DE Registration exercise, candidates will provide their email addresses only after the 2023 UTME/DE registration exercise has been declared closed by JAMB through
(a) Mobile APP on his/her registered phone
(b) Sending the word email (space then the email address) on his /her registered phone to 55019.
The email is typed twice for correctness (Email addresses will be entered twice for validation and prevention of typographical errors,”

Candidates are also to note that the registration for DE applicants would start on 20th February and end 20th April 2023. There would be no extension of time for the sale of the UTME/DE application documents.
Kindly Note: According to the JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, all candidates who want to register for the examination must ensure that no other person had used that telephone number for that purpose. “No two persons must use a single GSM number in commencing the registration process as it will not be acceptable. “The system is configured in such a way that one individual is to one telephone number that will remain exclusive to that single individual for the purpose of the entire examination process.
