• NIN must be length = 11
• Make sure your NIN is correctly linked with your number
• You can use any SIM Card So long it is registered with your name
• Do not use Sim registered with another name

Someone Wrote: Please, I’m trying to get my Profile Code and I already have my NIN. I’m using Etisalat and the response I got was “Failed to verify NIN”. Then I was told not to use 9mobile.  I was advised to use my mum’s MTN SIM since I have no other Sim, but still getting the same response.

My original SIM was registered by her in her name though and I was wondering if it could affect my getting the Profile code since it’s her name on the SIM and not mine.

If you followed all the steps above, Jamb should send you Some Code. After getting the code, the next thing is getting an E-PIN. NIN Must be length = 11.
