How to Reprint Your Original JAMB Result Slip

The original JAMB result slip is the printed copy many schools and scholarship boards accept. You generate it yourself on the JAMB e-Facility portal using your own profile login.

Step by step

1. Open the e-Facility portalGo to efacility.jamb.gov.ng in a browser. This is the same portal you used (or your centre used) for registration. Do not use a result link sent to you by a stranger.
2. Log in to your profileSign in with the email address and password that are tied to your JAMB profile. If you have forgotten the password, use the portal's own password-reset option rather than asking a third party.
3. Select the Print Result Slip serviceFrom the list of services on your dashboard, choose the option to print the result slip (sometimes labelled Print Result or Original Result Slip). Follow the on-screen prompts.
4. Pay the official feePay the displayed fee through the portal's payment gateway using a card, transfer or USSD. Keep the transaction confirmation. Only pay the amount shown on the official portal.
5. Choose your examination yearSelect the correct UTME year (for example 2026) and enter your JAMB registration number exactly as issued. A wrong year will pull up the wrong record or none at all.
6. Generate and download the slipClick to generate the slip, then download and save the PDF. Print it on clean paper. Keep the digital copy so you can reprint later.
7. Reprint later if neededWithin the same admission cycle you can usually log back into the same profile and reprint without paying again. If the year has closed, check the portal for availability.

The original JAMB result slip is the official, formatted printout of your Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result. It is the version many Nigerian institutions, state scholarship boards and some employers specifically ask for, because it carries your photograph, registration number, subject scores and the JAMB layout that is hard to forge. Unlike the quick score check you may have done by SMS on results day, this slip is generated from your own account on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board e-Facility portal. Because you generate it yourself, reprinting is simple, and there is no reason to pay a middleman for it. The portal that handles this is the same JAMB e-Facility system you encountered during registration, and it keeps your record tied to the profile you created, so the slip you print always reflects the scores JAMB actually holds for you. This self-service design is deliberate: JAMB wants candidates to be able to produce their own documents at any point in the admission cycle, without depending on a cafe operator or an agent who might overcharge, mishandle your login, or hand you a slip that does not match the official record. Many candidates only go looking for the original slip when an institution suddenly demands it during clearance, so it helps to know the process in advance rather than under pressure. Once you understand the few details the portal needs from you, the whole task takes only minutes, and you can repeat it whenever an institution asks for a fresh copy.

What the original result slip is

The original result slip is a document produced from the JAMB e-Facility portal that presents your UTME result in the Board’s standard format. It differs from a result notification text message or a screenshot in that it is laid out as an official slip and can be reproduced consistently each time you print it. Institutions request it during admission screening, clearance and registration, and some scholarship and sponsorship schemes require it as proof of your score. Keeping a clean printed copy and a saved digital copy means you can present it whenever it is demanded without scrambling at the last minute.

Who needs it and when

You are likely to need the original slip if you have been offered admission and are going for physical or online clearance, if you are applying for a scholarship or bursary that asks for UTME evidence, or if an institution’s portal requires you to upload it. Candidates re-applying, transferring, or presenting their result to a foreign institution may also need it. In short, anyone whose UTME result must be shown in an official format, rather than just quoted as a number, should have the slip ready.

Documents and details you need

To reprint, you need access to the JAMB profile that owns the result. That means the email address registered on the profile and the matching password, along with your JAMB registration number. It helps to know the exact examination year. You do not need to upload any documents to reprint, but you should have a working internet connection, a device that can open and save a PDF, and access to a printer or a print shop where you can print the saved file yourself. Guard your login details, because whoever holds them controls your profile.

Fees and payment

Reprinting the original slip attracts a small official fee that is charged on the e-Facility portal. The exact amount is shown on the portal at the point of payment and can change from one cycle to another, so treat any figure quoted on a blog as a rough guide only and confirm the current charge on the portal itself. Payment is made online through the portal’s own gateway, typically by debit card, bank transfer or USSD. Always pay the amount displayed on the official portal, and keep the transaction confirmation in case you need to query a payment later.

Realistic timeline

Reprinting is usually instant. Once your payment is confirmed on the portal, the slip is generated immediately and you can download it on the spot. Occasionally the portal is slow during peak admission periods, or a payment takes a short while to reflect, in which case you may need to wait and refresh rather than pay a second time. Plan ahead rather than leaving it to the final hours before a clearance deadline, so that any temporary delay does not cost you.

Variations to be aware of

The service may be labelled slightly differently from one cycle to the next, and the availability of older examination years can vary. Some candidates access the portal directly, while others who registered through an accredited CBT centre may be more comfortable returning to that centre to print, though this is a convenience rather than a requirement. If your profile was created with help from someone else, make sure you actually control the email and password, because you will need them every time you reprint.

Common problems and fixes

The most common issue is a forgotten password or losing access to the registered email. Use the portal’s own password-reset or recovery options rather than asking a stranger to help. Another frequent problem is selecting the wrong examination year, which pulls up no record; simply go back and choose the correct year. If the slip will not generate after a confirmed payment, log back in to check your dashboard status before paying again, and escalate through JAMB’s official support with your transaction reference if it remains stuck.

If the portal is down

Portals can be temporarily unavailable, especially when traffic is high just after results are released or during admission season. If the e-Facility portal does not load, wait and try again later, try a different browser or network, and avoid clicking links sent to you promising an alternative site. If the outage persists, visit an accredited JAMB office or the nearest JAMB state office, or use the Board’s official helpdesk. Never hand your login to a third party just to beat a temporary outage.

Verifying that your slip is genuine

Because you generate the slip from the official portal, the copy you download is authentic. Trouble only arises when someone else hands you a slip they claim to have printed for you. Make sure the registration number, name, photograph and scores match your own records exactly, and that the slip came from your own portal session. An institution can confirm a result through JAMB’s own channels, so a doctored slip will not survive verification. The safest practice is to always generate your own copy rather than accept one from an intermediary.

Practical tips

Save the PDF in more than one place, such as your email and your phone, so you can reprint even if one device is lost. Print a couple of clean copies at once when you know a clearance is coming. Keep your JAMB email and password private and memorable, and change the password if you suspect anyone else has seen it. Finally, resist the pressure of anyone who claims they can speed things up, upgrade your score or print on your behalf for a fee, and always return to the official portal for anything to do with your result.
