NYSC ONLINE REGISTRATION GUIDE - Step By Step Process For A Successful NYSC Online Registration

As the NYSC online registration is fast approaching or ongoing, it is important for prospective corp members to know the relevant processes they are required to follow for a successful online registration.

In this post we are going to enlighten you on the step by step processes which will aid you while you register on the NYSC portal once the site is opened. The official site for NYSC  online registration once the portal opens is: portal.nysc.org.ng

The NYSC online registration Portal is usually opened by 12 midnight or early morning hours between 12am to 5am on the designated date for online registration, although this is not the case most times as it is also usually opened during the day or latest, night hours on the date specified for the opening of NYSC portal. Make sure to locate an Accredited Cyber Cafe.

Some Prospective Corps Members go to the extent of sleeping in cyber cafes just to be among the first set of people to register before good states like Abuja and Lagos gets filled up.

I will solemnly advise against such move as you might just end up stressing yourself for nothing and depriving your self of a good sleep with the portal ending up not being opened for registration as anticipated during the early morning hours.

Moreover there is no more selection of states and as such you can end up sleeping during the break of dawn and the portal would be opened while you are busy in the dream land. You can set alarms at intervals of time during your sleep hours to check if the portal is yet to be opened or not but don't deprive yourself of sleep.

Mind you that it is costly to make mistakes during the online registration as some of these mistakes made cannot be corrected, although some of them can be corrected like; wrong gender, wrong state of origin, e.t.c.

Below Are The Major Things You Will Need For A Successful Online Registration.

1. A functional g-mail account; Please do not use yahoo-mail for registration as confirmation of email takes longer if you use it.

2. Passport photograph; This is for scanning and upload. Only one passport is enough and only passports with white background are accepted. Although in some previous NYSC batches, passports weren't used, rather face capture, but be it as it may, carry a clear passport with white background.

3. Money; Carry a maximum of N5000 or N6000 to the cafe where you will register. You will pay about N3000 for call up letter through Inter-switch or Remitta. Interswitch involves payment using your ATM or debit card while Remitta involves generating a payment code which you will use later on to pay for call up letter in any NYSC approved banks like First Bank.

You will pay about N2000 for cafe charges while registering (Charges vary from cafe to cafe), then the extra money left can be used for miscellaneous (Unforseen or unplanned Expenses).

prospective corp member can either choose to pay for their call up letter online so that they can print it out once it is released,  or they can choose not to pay for it and it will be sent to their institution where such PCM can go and pick it up after it is released.

I advise that you pay for your call up letter online because your call up letter can get missing while being delivered to your school and also the printing of your green-card will delay for a long time.

4. Matriculation or school registration number; Endeavor you memorize or write it down and go with it to the cyber cafe. 

5. JAMB registration number; Make sure to memorize or write down your JAMB registration number and go with it to the cyber cafe.

For those that have just been mobilized for the first time, click on "FRESH REGISTRATION" on the NYSC portal. For those PCMs who have been mobilized before with their name previously on the NYSC Senate list and is still on the NYSC senate list, click on "FRESH REGISTRATION".

For the prospective corp members who were mobilized in previous batches and successfully registered online, also got their call up letter but did not report to camp, click on "REVALIDATION" but if the online registration is for stream 2 just do nothing and expect a new call up letter. For more information about NYSC revalidation click here.

Some PCMs have been asking if they can start the registration on their phone and later complete it in the cafe, well the answer was YES before, You could start the NYSC registration on your device and later finish up in the cyber cafe because the registration parameters on phone is limited.

But after the introduction of accredited cafe you are advised to do all registration in an accredited cyber cafe. The link to an accredited cafe is on this article so scroll up to see it.

Also before you could only input certain details and submit after which you will be directed to the biometric page for thumb printing which cannot be done in a phone even if the phone has a thumbprint sensor.

As for those PCMs who will still be getting the 'NO RECORD FOUND' notification on the NYSC senate list, don't despair, uploading of senate list will continue even during registration and you can contact your school as well for updates on your respective senate list.

Once you are done with your registration, you will wait for few minutes or hours or sometimes days to print your Green-Card which will contain your NYSC Call-up number and other personal information filled during registration.

Below are other tips and guidelines for nysc before & after online registration process
