The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a new system allowing candidates to have their O’Level results verified directly with the examination bodies that issued them.
JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin announced the development on Monday, August 24, 2026, saying the process will initially begin with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
Under the new arrangement, candidates can upload their O’Level results from home while JAMB verifies the results directly against records held by the relevant examination body.
According to Benjamin, the initiative is designed to make JAMB services faster, safer and more convenient while reducing the need for candidates to visit Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
He said the system will also address problems associated with manual result uploads, including misplaced documents, incorrect subject or grade entries, and the submission of unverified or fraudulent results.
The new system integrates JAMB’s e-Facility platform with examination bodies, enabling results to be checked against official records before being uploaded to a candidate’s profile.
How to Verify and Upload O’Level Results
Candidates are required to first purchase a result verification code by visiting the official result verification platform and completing the following steps:
1. Enter their National Identification Number (NIN) and verify it.
2. Select the number of O’Level sittings and examination body or bodies.
3. Provide an email address and GSM number.
4. Make payment using a debit card or bank transfer.
5. Enter examination details, including examination number, series and year.
6. Verify the result and obtain a Verification Code.
7. Send “VERIFY” followed by the Verification Code to 55019 or 66019.
8. Candidates with two sittings should log into their JAMB e-Facility profile when notified.
9. Select “2026 UTME O’Level Upload”.
10. Enter the Verification Code and review the verified results displayed.
11. Select between five and nine required subjects, ensuring no subject is selected more than once.
12. Click “Apply the O’Level Results” to complete the upload.
JAMB said candidates will receive a notification after a successful submission.
Benjamin added that the initiative reflects Registrar Prof. Segun Aina’s drive to make JAMB’s services more technology-driven and candidate-focused.
