This is to notify all aspiring corps members—that is, Nigerians who have completed their degrees from domestic and foreign universities and mono- and polytechnics—that the NYSC registration portal will open on January 29, 2024, allowing them to sign up for the 2023 Batch “A” mobilization.
Here are some pointers to help graduates with local training during NYSC registration:
- For soldiers deployed in Batch “A” of 2023 and earlier batches who did not attend the Orientation Camp, there is a Revalidation link.
- If you have already registered but didn’t finish, click “Login Here” to finish your registration using your old username and password rather than creating a new one.
- Avoid using a thumbprint proxy. (No one should take your thumbprint; you should take your own).
- Upload a crisp photo from your passport. If you upload a passport photo of yourself wearing a NYSC vest and you don’t comply, you won’t be allowed to camp.
- In addition to spelling mistakes and rearrangements, PCMs who have requests for Name Correction (Addition or Removal of Name) to be handled by the Institution should submit those requests through their dashboard during Online Registration.
- The Certificate of National Service and Exemption Certificate will now have the date of graduation and the course of study.
- Make sure your information is accurate.
- On your dashboard, request a Date of Birth Correction. Please be aware that after you register for camp, you cannot change your date of birth.
- PCMs should get in touch with our States Secretariat before the start of the orientation exercise if their thumbprints and passport photos were incorrectly uploaded during online registration. Passport photos cannot be changed after camp registration.
- When PCMs are allowed to print their Call-up Letters, part-time graduates must register online to print their Exclusion Letter from their dashboard.
