The official National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) websites are nysc.gov.ng and nysc.org.ng. Prospective corps members register and log in at portal.nysc.org.ng. From your dashboard you can complete mobilisation registration, print your call-up letter, check the Senate list, verify your certificate, and pay any required fees. The NYSC scheme is mandatory for Nigerian graduates under 30 (or under 35 for postgraduates) under the NYSC Act.

What you can do on the NYSC portal dashboard
1. Register for NYSC mobilisation
When NYSC opens registration for a batch (Batch A, B, or C), the dashboard switches from “No Active Registration” to “Register”. You complete biodata, upload your photo, pick state preferences, and pay any required fee.
2. Print your call-up letter
Once mobilisation closes and posting is published, log in to download and print your call-up letter. The letter shows your call-up number and the orientation camp address. Print on A4 paper.
3. Check the Senate list
Before mobilisation, your university must submit your name on the Senate list. Verify your name is on it by logging in to your dashboard. If missing, contact your school’s NYSC liaison officer.
4. Verify your NYSC certificate
Employers can verify the authenticity of an NYSC discharge or exemption certificate by entering the certificate number on the verification page on the portal.
5. Track payment status
If you’ve paid for any NYSC service (e.g. revalidation, certificate replacement), use the payment status section to confirm receipt.
6. Foreign-trained graduates
Graduates of overseas universities use the dedicated Foreign PCM link on the dashboard to upload transcripts, evaluation reports, and travel records for mobilisation.
7. Biometric instructions
NYSC uses biometric capture during registration and at orientation camp. The portal lists the device and image specs you must meet.
8. Accredited institutions
Confirm that your school’s programme is NYSC-accredited. Unaccredited courses cannot be mobilised.
Common NYSC portal problems
- Site not loading: NYSC servers slow down on the first day of registration. Try at off-peak hours (very early morning).
- Wrong email/password: use the same email/password from initial sign-up. Reset via the forgot-password link.
- “No Active Registration”: means the current batch isn’t open yet. Watch nysc.gov.ng for batch dates.
- Senate list missing: contact your university’s NYSC desk; they upload the list.
- Payment not reflecting: wait 24 hours, then email helpdesk@nysc.gov.ng with your transaction reference.
