Solution to Invalid Character error when creating jamb Profile 2027/2028

In this article, I shall quickly address another challenge you would encounter while creating your Jamb 2027 profile. This is the issue of Invalid Character Found in the name supplied.

Someone just sent me this text, “After I sent my name to 55019, I got this message from jamb invalid character found in the name submitted”

Just like the subject of the sms implies, invalid characters are messages formats not approved or acceptable by jamb.

According to Jamb, there should be spacing between your first name, middle name and surname. If you wrote all your names together (without spacing) it would not be accepted.

Invalid character could also be as a result of you putting numerical values in your name. Numbers are not part of names; names are purely alphabets.

Funny enough, some persons would send names like Mary419 and John15me to jamb 😯 . This is not acceptable. Just follow the correct sms format.
