The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has officially announced the commencement of online registration for the 2024 Batch “C” Stream II mobilization. The registration portal will open on January 6, 2025, and all prospective corps members are encouraged to adhere to the provided guidelines to ensure a smooth process.

This article provides a comprehensive guide to NYSC online registration, highlighting important steps, requirements for both locally and foreign-trained graduates, and tips to avoid mistakes during the process.

Who Should Register?

The NYSC registration is open to all Nigerian graduates from Universities and Mono/Polytechnics (both home and abroad). This includes those who completed their degree or Higher National Diploma (HND) programs and are ready for the one-year mandatory national service.

For part-time graduates, the online portal allows you to apply for your Exclusion Letter, as you are exempt from participating in the full NYSC program.

Guidelines for Locally-Trained Graduates

1. National Identification Number (NIN): Ensure you have your NIN ready, as it is mandatory for registration.
2. Fresh Registration: If this is your first registration, select the “Fresh Registration” option on the portal.
3. Revalidation: If you were deployed in a previous batch but did not report to camp, select “Revalidation.”
4. Facial Capturing: A webcam will be used to capture your facial image. Ensure you are well-dressed for the passport photo. Blurred or unclear images are not accepted.
5. No Proxy Thumbprinting: Thumbprint only by yourself; proxy registrations are prohibited.
6. Personal Details Accuracy: Ensure that details such as your Date of Birth, Graduation Date, and Course of Study are correct. These will appear on your Certificate of National Service and cannot be changed after camp registration.
7. Corrections: Use your dashboard to request corrections for mistakes related to Name, Date of Birth, Course of Study, or Qualification.
8. Special Cases:
   • Married female PCMs should upload marital documents to seek redeployment based on marital status.
   • PCMs with disabilities or health challenges should indicate and upload necessary medical documents.
9. Monitoring: Regularly check your dashboard during the registration process to avoid errors.

Guidelines for Foreign-Trained Graduates

1. Document Upload: Upload original copies of your degree certificate, transcript, and travel documents. Ensure your name matches exactly as it appears on your certificate.
2. Thumbprinting in Nigeria: Although registration can be completed from anywhere, you must thumbprint within Nigeria before attending the Orientation Camp.
3. Evaluation Letter: If your institution has not been evaluated, visit the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja to obtain an Evaluation Letter and submit it to NYSC headquarters.
4. SSCE Results: Ensure your SSCE result is at least four (4) years old.
5. Pre-Camp Physical Verification: Select a center for physical verification during online registration. Upon verification, print your Clearance Slip to present at the Orientation Camp.
6. Translated Certificates: If your certificates are not in English, ensure you bring the translated versions to camp.
7. Exemption Certificates: Foreign-trained graduates exempted from service can collect their Exemption Certificate from NYSC Headquarters in Abuja.
8. Exclusion Letters: For those excluded from service, print your Exclusion Letter online through your dashboard.
