This is to inform all prospective corps members, 
i.e. Nigerians who have graduated from 
Universities and Mono/Polytechnics both at home 
and abroad that the NYSC On-line registration 
portal will be opened from Monday 2nd March to 
Saturday 4th April, 2015 to enable them register 
for the 2015 Batch ‘A’ mobilization. 
In order to ensure a seamless registration, 
prospective corps members are to note the 
following for strict compliance:
See Also: NYSC Mobilization Time Table For 2015 
Batch A
The Website address is any of the following: 
www.nysc.gov.ng 
www.nysc.org.ng 
www.portal.nysc.gov.ng
Prospective Corps members should ensure that 
they have functional e-mail addresses with 
valid password and Nigerian (GSM) telephone 
numbers with which to register
Locally trained prospective Corps members 
are expected to use correct JAMB and 
Matriculation numbers to register
For locally-trained graduates, only those 
whose names appear in the Senate/Academic 
Board Approved Result lists submitted by 
their Institutions will have access to the NYSC 
portal.
Prospective corps members must ensure that 
their institutions and Courses are approved 
and accredited by Nigeria Universities 
Commission (NUC), National Board for 
Technical Education (NBTE) or Federal 
Ministry of Education (FME), otherwise they 
would not be mobilized..
Those who graduated from Institutions outside 
Nigeria, (Foreign-trained graduates), are to 
visit the NYSC portal, register and upload 
the following documents:
West African School Certificate(WASC) 
(with not less than 5 Credits at 2 
sittings) or its equivalent,
General Certificate of Education (GCE 
O’ Level) (with not less than 5 Credits 
at 2 sittings) or its equivalent,
NECO (with not less than 5 Credits at 2 
sittings) or its equivalent
First Degree or Higher National Diploma 
(HND) Certificate (Second Degree or 
Ph.D not necessary).
Transcript of the first Degree or HND.
International travelling Passport showing 
data page and date of departure.
It is the responsibility of the prospective 
corps members who studied in non-English 
speaking countries to get their Certificates 
and Transcripts translated into English 
language before uploading.
All graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are 
expected to have their Certificates of 
Registration with Nigerian Medical and Dental 
Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and Pharmacists 
Council of Nigeria (PCN) respectively. 
Payment receipts are not acceptable.
Unlike in the past, Foreign-trained graduates 
should not visit NYSC Headquarters, Abuja 
for verification of their documents. 
This 
exercise will now be done at the Orientation 
Camps. They should simply print their call-up 
letters on-line and report at the Orientation 
camps in their States of deployment, but 
should come along with the original documents 
they uploaded to the camp where they will be 
verified.
Anybody who presents any fake document will 
be demobilized and decamped.
Prospective corps members should ensure that 
it is their accurate passport size photograph 
that is captured during registration.
Ensure your face (eyes, nose, ears, 
mouth and jaw) is fully shown without 
bending 
Ensure the picture fills the frame and 
centralized.
Ensure the Photo background is white or 
off-white with no shadow.
On no account should prospective corps 
members register by PROXY. They should also 
remember the finger used for their biometric 
capturing as this will be used for data 
verification at the orientation camp. 
Those 
who cannot be verified with their biometric at 
the orientation camp will not be registered.
Only prospective corps members who want 
their call-up numbers sent to them through 
SMS and wish to PRINT their call-up letters 
on-line are expected to pay the sum of Three 
Thousand Naira (N3,000.00) (see NYSC Portal 
on how to make payment).
Prospective Corps members who do not want 
to pay the N3,000.00 have the option of 
going to their schools to collect their call-up 
numbers and call-up letters.
All prospective corps members who paid for 
the online registration during the 2014 Batch 
‘C’ Mobilisation but did not print their call-up 
letters online need not to pay again.
Married female prospective corps members 
should submit copies of their marriage 
Certificate, evidence of Change of name and 
their husband’s place of domicile including 
their call-up numbers to their schools or 
nearest NYSC Secretariats. Foreign-trained 
graduates should upload theirs during 
registration.
The orientation camps are not ideal for 
pregnant and nursing mothers. Prospective 
corps members in this category are therefore 
to note that they will not be accommodated.
Prospective corps members who have problems 
related to mobilization should go to the 
nearest NYSC Secretariats, see the 
Deployment and Relocation officer and lodge 
their complaints between 17th – 20th April, 
2015.
All Part-time graduates are also expected to 
register on-line, even though they qualify for 
Exclusion.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE THE PORTAL IS 
CLOSED ON SATURDAY, 4TH APRIL 2015, 
THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER REGISTRATION.
