Can I Use JAMB Office in Another State For Registrations?

To perform any of the following tasks, you will need to visit a JAMB office:

1. JAMB DE registration
2. Correction of data by DE applicants
3. Solving any problems concerning DE admission
4. Conversion of UTME to DE

Knowing this, you may wonder if it's possible to use a JAMB office in a different state from your state of origin or residence for these activities.

Similarly, UTME candidates, even though can still use the services of CBT centers, may opt to visit JAMB offices instead. They may want to know if they can visit any JAMB office in any state to register for JAMB, change institutions, correct data, etc.

In this post, I will shed light on this and help with related concerns.

You Can Use Any JAMB Office For Your Registration

Whether you're a DE or UTME applicant, it doesn't matter if a JAMB office is in your state of origin or residence; you're allowed to walk into any branch and seek their services.

As a matter of fact, JAMB offices don't discriminate or care to know which state you belong to by birth or residence before they attend to any of your requested services. Their officials are made available for any of the activities related to JAMB and admissions. Hence, you should feel free to enter any branch.

You May Be Directed to Your State of Origin or Residence Branch

On certain occasions, such as if there will be a need for you to revisit the office for your registration, the personnel may advise you to use a branch closer to you, especially if that is your state of residence or origin.

This in no way is meant to discriminate or force you to go back to where you initiated your registration or admission activities but rather to create conveniences for you. However, if you don't mind going back if needed, you're always welcome to visit any JAMB office again.

In fact, if you're in the middle of an activity in one branch but you've just moved to another state, you're free to continue the processing at another branch in the other state.

Be Sure The Service Is Mainly Attended to At JAMB Branches

The fact that you can use JAMB offices doesn't mean you can go there for anything. Those branches are too busy to handle everything you bring to them. That's why admission-related activities have been split among the offices, CBT centers, and cyber cafes.

For certain activities, such as the registration for UTME can be handled by CBT centers around you - don't take it to JAMB offices. You can upload your O'level results to the JAMB portal at any CBT center - don't force JAMB offices to send you away. You can change institutions and courses at any of these CBT centers, use them instead of JAMB offices.

Similarly, CBT centers and cafes can handle printing of JAMB results, JAMB admission letters, and activities such as acceptance of admission on the JAMB portal, and so on. Hence, taking those to a JAMB office will force them to send you back to them. Therefore, be sure to visit the right place in the first place.

Conclusion

JAMB applicants, whether DE or UTME, have the flexibility to use any JAMB office across the country, regardless of their state of origin or residence. JAMB offices are open to assisting with a variety of services without discrimination. However, for certain tasks, CBT centers and cafes are more appropriate and equipped to handle specific registration and admission-related activities.

It's essential to choose the right location for your needs to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Always remember, for more complex issues or specific services, JAMB offices are at your disposal, but for routine tasks, consider CBT centers and cafes.
