Prospective corps members with errors in their names can now correct their names on the NYSC portal without stress! See how to correct names on NYSC Portal below.
This post will help prospective corps members know how they can change their names on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Portal.
How to Correct Names on NYSC Portal
The National Youth Service Corps has said unequivocally that Corps members would not be registered in orientation camp if the name on their Statement of Result differs from that on the Call-up Letter. Those who have a discrepancy in name should apply for NYSC Name Correction (Addition or Removal) on their dashboard.
Here is how to correct names on the NYSC portal:
- Access your dashboard (at portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc1)
- Login to your dashboard using your registered email and password.
- Select the “Apply for Change of Name” link to make the following changes:
- Spelling Error
- Rearrangement
- Replacement
- Addition
- Removal
Please be advised that the request for the replacement, addition, and removal of names will be sent to your Students Affairs Officer, who will then process the request and forward it to NYSC for further action.
Addition or Removal of names will not be attended to at the NYSC portal unless your institution follows the lay-down procedures and uploads supporting documents.
Prospective corp members must note that if there is a discrepancy between the name they uploaded online, the name that appears on their dashboard, and the name that appears on their Statement of Result, then they will not be registered for camp.
This is another requirement that must be met to keep your Certificate of National Service error-free.
