The NYSC registration portal for the 2024 Batch “C” Stream I mobilization will open on November 14, 2024. This process is crucial for all prospective corps members, whether they are locally or foreign-trained graduates. Here’s an in-depth guide to ensure a smooth registration, covering key requirements, tips, and prohibited actions.
Key Requirements for NYSC Registration
1. National Identification Number (NIN): Required for all graduates. If you’re registering for the first time, click “Fresh Registration.” If you were previously deployed but missed reporting to camp, choose “Revalidation.”
2. Clear Passport Photograph: Use a webcam for facial capture; ensure your image is clear, well-dressed, and follows NYSC standards.
3. Correct Personal Details: Your date of birth, date of graduation, and course of study will appear on your Certificate of National Service or Exemption Certificate. Double-check these details, as they are non-editable post-registration.
Tips for Locally-Trained Graduates
Official Registration Portal: https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc1/
• Login Options: If you began registration but didn’t complete it, select “Login Here” to continue.
• No Proxy Thumbprinting: Only register your own fingerprints; proxy registrations are not allowed.
• Correct Documentation: Apply for any necessary corrections (e.g., name, DOB, or degree details) via your dashboard.
• Special Considerations:
• Armed Forces Members: Upload valid documents if currently serving.
• Marital Concessions: Married female graduates must upload marital documents.
• Health Challenges: Upload medical documents if you have health conditions that need special consideration during your service.
Tips for Foreign-Trained Graduates
1. Visit NYSC’s Official Requirements Page: Review specific mobilization requirements at the NYSC portal here.
2. Avoid Multiple Accounts: Register only once to prevent issues.
3. Upload Original Documents: Submit clear copies of your degree, transcripts, and any additional travel documents as required.
4. Mandatory Thumbprint in Nigeria: Although you may register from abroad, a thumbprint must be completed in Nigeria before Orientation Camp.
5. Federal Ministry of Education Evaluation: If your school is not recognized, obtain an Evaluation Letter from the Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja.
6. Physical Verification: Select a center for Pre-Camp physical verification during online registration and appear for verification with original documents.
7. SSCE Validity: The SSCE result uploaded must be no less than four years old.
8. Document Translation: Bring the translated version of your certificate to camp if it’s in a language other than English.
Important Notices and Prohibitions
• Do Not Thumbprint by Proxy: This is strictly forbidden by NYSC.
• Maintain Accurate Contact Information: Ensure all contact details are up-to-date for seamless communication.
• Health Status: Indicate any health challenges truthfully to receive appropriate support.
• Document Integrity: Submitting fake or altered documents will lead to serious penalties, including legal consequences.
Final Steps
After online registration:
• Locally-trained graduates should prepare their documentation and report to camp with original copies.
• Foreign-trained graduates must print their Clearance Slip after physical verification and present it along with their original documents during camp registration.
