JAMB Reprint 2026: How to Print Your Examination Slip Free
If you registered for JAMB’s UTME, printing your examination slip is not optional – it’s the single document that tells you your exam date, time, and CBT centre, and you will not be let into the exam hall without it. This guide covers exactly how to reprint your slip on the official JAMB portal, what to do if it isn’t loading, and every detail worth double-checking before you walk into your exam.
What Is a JAMB Reprint?
A JAMB reprint is simply a fresh copy of your examination slip, downloaded or printed directly from JAMB’s official portal. The slip itself contains your registration details, passport photograph, exam date, exam time, and the exact address of your assigned CBT (Computer-Based Test) centre. “Reprint” is the correct term because most candidates print it more than once – once early to confirm their details, and again closer to exam day as a fresh, clean copy to carry to the centre.
You’ll typically need to reprint your slip if:
- You printed it earlier but misplaced the copy
- Your exam centre or schedule was changed by JAMB
- You want to confirm your exact time and venue again close to exam day
- Your first printout came out unclear or with a poor-quality photograph
Is JAMB Reprint Free?
Yes – printing and reprinting your JAMB examination slip costs nothing on JAMB’s official portal, and there is no limit to how many times you can do it. If a website, agent, or cyber café asks you to pay for a “reprint PIN,” a “premium slip,” or any similar token before showing you your slip, that is not part of JAMB’s actual process. The only legitimate cost you might encounter is a small service charge if you use a cyber café’s printer and paper – never a fee to access the slip itself.
Official JAMB Reprint Portal
Always print your slip from JAMB’s own platform, not a third-party site claiming to offer a “faster” or “easier” reprint:
- Primary reprint portal: slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/PrintExaminationSlip
- Alternative route: Visit jamb.gov.ng and click “Print Examination Slip” on the homepage
- To confirm your details first: Log into your JAMB e-facility account at efacility.jamb.gov.ng
Bookmark the primary link above rather than searching for it each time – a large share of JAMB-related scams work by mimicking the real portal’s design on a fake domain, so typing the address yourself is safer than clicking links from social media or unofficial pages.
How to Reprint Your JAMB Examination Slip: Step-by-Step
- Go to the official portal. Visit slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng directly in your browser.
- Enter your details. Type in your JAMB registration number, or the email address or phone number you used during registration – whichever you have on hand.
- Click “Print Examination Slip.” Your exam information will load: your full name, passport photograph, registration number, exam date, exam time, and CBT centre address.
- Allow pop-ups if prompted. The slip sometimes opens in a new browser tab or window. If nothing appears after clicking, check your browser’s address bar for a blocked pop-up notification and allow it, then try again.
- Download or print directly. If you’re connected to a printer, print the slip immediately. If not, save it as a PDF so you can print it later at home or at a cyber café.
- Print at least two copies. Keep one for your personal records and take the other to your exam centre.
How to Check Your JAMB Slip With Your Phone
You don’t need a computer to reprint your slip – the entire process works on a smartphone browser:
- Open Chrome, Safari, or any modern browser on your phone and go to slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng.
- Enter your registration number, email, or phone number, then tap “Print Examination Slip.”
- Your slip will load on screen. From here, you have two options depending on what you plan to do next:
- If you’re printing later: Use your browser’s share or “Print” option and choose “Save as PDF” so you have a file to send to a printer or cyber café.
- If you’re printing immediately: Connect your phone to a printer via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or a compatible printing app, and print directly.
- If you can’t print from your phone at all, save the PDF and take it to any nearby business centre or cyber café – most are set up to print directly from a phone or a flash drive.
A black-and-white printout is perfectly acceptable for your exam centre, as long as your name, photograph, and exam details are clearly legible.
What to Check on Your Slip Before Exam Day
Don’t just print your slip and put it away – review it carefully the moment it loads. Confirm:
- Your full name – it should match your NIN and JAMB registration exactly. A mismatch here can cause problems at your centre.
- Your passport photograph – this should be the image captured during your biometric registration at your CBT centre. If it looks wrong or unclear, don’t ignore it.
- Your registration number – a small error here can misdirect you to the wrong record entirely.
- Your exam date and time – this is the detail candidates most often skim past and regret. Don’t assume your exam date matches a friend’s; every candidate’s schedule can differ.
- Your CBT centre address – locate this centre in advance if you’re not already familiar with the area. Arriving at the wrong venue on exam morning is not something JAMB accommodates with a makeup slot.
Printing Your Mock Exam Slip or Supplementary Slip
Not every candidate uses the same portal – two situations use a different link:
If you registered for the optional JAMB Mock UTME, your mock slip is printed separately from your main exam slip, using the same registration details:
- Mock exam slip portal: slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/printmockexaminationslip
Your mock exam result has no bearing on your actual UTME score – it exists purely as practice under real CBT conditions.
If JAMB has officially rescheduled you to a supplementary or “mop-up” exam date – typically because of a technical fault, power outage, or other disruption at your original centre that was outside your control – your new slip is generated from a different portal entirely:
- Supplementary slip portal: slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/PrintmopupExaminationSlip
This portal only works if JAMB has actually placed you in the supplementary schedule. If you weren’t notified of a reschedule, use the standard portal instead.
What to Do If Your JAMB Reprint Isn’t Working
A few issues come up repeatedly, and most have simple fixes:
- Nothing loads after you click “Print Examination Slip.” Check that your browser isn’t blocking pop-ups – the slip commonly opens in a new tab or window, and a silent pop-up block is the most common reason candidates think the portal is “not working.”
- You get an error saying your details weren’t found. Double-check you’ve typed your registration number, email, or phone number exactly as used during registration. A single typo, extra space, or wrong case in your email can cause this.
- The page is extremely slow or times out. This usually means heavy traffic on the portal, which spikes right after JAMB opens reprinting each cycle and again in the days before the exam. Wait a few minutes and try again rather than repeatedly refreshing, which can make things worse.
- You’ve tried everything and it still won’t load. Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre near you. Staff there can assist directly rather than troubleshoot remotely.
Can Someone Else Print Your Slip for You?
Yes. If you’re unable to access the portal yourself, another person can print your slip on your behalf, provided you give them your registration number or registered email/phone number. This is exactly how most cyber café assistance works – you don’t need to hand over your JAMB password or any other sensitive login credentials for a basic slip reprint.
After the Exam: Do You Still Need Your Slip?
Keep your printed slip even after you’ve written your UTME. It’s useful for cross-checking your details during the result-checking process and can be requested again during school admission screening and clearance, depending on your institution’s requirements. Since reprinting remains free and unlimited on JAMB’s portal, there’s no downside to printing a fresh copy again later if your original gets damaged or misplaced.
