Many applicants have experienced this issue, especially over the past few days. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you fix the OTP problem and successfully complete your registration on the TVET portal.

Why You’re Not Receiving OTP from the TVET Portal
There are several common reasons why applicants may not receive the OTP during the application process:
- Poor mobile network coverage
- Your line is activated under Do-Not-Disturb (DND) service
- Wrong phone number linked to your NIN
- Temporary server or system glitches on the portal
- Your mobile carrier (e.g., MTN, Glo) experiencing issues
Steps to Fix TVET OTP Not Received Problem
1. Validate Your NIN with Correct Date of Birth
- Visit the TVET Portal
- Enter your NIN and Date of Birth
- Ensure the DOB matches exactly with what is on your NIN slip
- Click “Validate NIN”
If your date of birth doesn’t match, the portal will not proceed. Always double-check your NIN details first.

2. Use the Phone Number Linked to Your NIN
- Use the exact number you registered with when creating your NIN
- If unsure, dial
*346#to check your NIN-linked number
Using a different number from what’s on your NIN record may prevent you from receiving OTPs.
3. Disable Do-Not-Disturb (DND) on Your Line
Your line may be blocking promotional or bulk SMS due to DND settings. To disable DND:
- MTN: Text
ALLOWto2442 - GLO: Text
CANCELto2442 - Airtel: Text
ALLOWto2442 - 9mobile: Text
STARTto2442
If you’re using an MTN line and still experiencing issues:
Wait a few minutes and try the OTP request again after disabling DND.
4. Try a Different SIM Network
- Switch to an Airtel line or another network
- Retry the registration using the new SIM that’s linked to your NIN
This method has worked for many applicants facing delays or failed OTP delivery.
5. Wait and Retry Later
If all else fails, the issue may be from the server side:
- Wait for a few hours or a day and try again
- The portal might be experiencing high traffic
