NYSC OFFICIAL PROCEDURES FOR CORRECTION OF DATE OF BIRTH/COURSE OF STUDY

When you have issues with your date of birth while going for NYSC, it may have a series of effects that may not be pleasing eventually.

One such effect is, it may lead to over-age (more than 30 years) which disallows NYSC to mobilize you for the one-year national service scheme.

Graduates should, also, be curious to get all their information to align with one another because of what may crop up in the future such as screening, appointments, etc.

NOTE:

1. You are required to supply the correct name. This will go through the due approval process. NYSC will contact your school to be sure the error emerged from them or you're just trying to manipulate things yourself.
2. After the correction and submission, you have to wait for a few days or weeks for the official approval. Once approved, you will see the changes in the names on your dashboard.
3. Corps members who applied, for the change of names, before the printing of the call-up letters may see that reflected on the letter, so they can reprint the green card too. Those who apply during the service year should expect that to reflect on the dashboard and on their final discharged certificates.
