Hello, dear readers. Today, I want to share with you some important information on how to apply for a correction of your date of birth on the NYSC portal. This is a common issue that many prospective corps members face, and I hope this post will help you resolve it quickly and easily.
As you may already know, the NYSC portal is the online platform where you can register for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, check your status, print your call-up letter, and access other relevant information and services.
One of the requirements for registering on the NYSC portal is to provide your correct date of birth, as this will determine your eligibility and deployment for the service year. However, sometimes, due to various reasons, such as errors in your WAEC result or other documents, you may need to apply for a change of your date of birth on the portal.
This is not a difficult process, but it requires some patience and attention to details. Here are some things you need to know before you proceed with the application:
- You can only apply for a date of birth correction after your call-up number has been issued. This means that you have to wait until the NYSC portal announces the release of call-up numbers for your batch before you can access the option to correct your date of birth.
- You can only apply for a date of birth correction using your WAEC result that is more than 4-5 years old and a WAEC verification PIN. This is because the NYSC portal uses the WAEC database to verify and update your date of birth. If you do not have these documents, you may not be able to apply for a correction.
- You can only apply for a date of birth correction once. This means that you have to be very careful and accurate when filling in the information on the portal. Any mistake or discrepancy may lead to further complications or rejection of your application.
Now that you are aware of these conditions, let me walk you through the steps on how to apply for a date of birth correction on the NYSC portal:
- Login to your NYSC dashboard on the NYSC portal using your registered email and password.
- Click on the link for Date of Birth correction.
- Fill in the necessary information as prompted, such as your WAEC examination number, year, school, verification PIN, and desired date of birth.
- Submit your application and wait for the verification process to be completed.
Please note that the verification process may take some time, depending on the availability and response of the WAEC database. You will receive a notification on your dashboard once your application has been approved or rejected.
If your application is approved, congratulations! You have successfully corrected your date of birth on the NYSC portal. You can now proceed with other preparations for your service year.
If your application is rejected, do not panic. You can contact the NYSC helpline or visit their office for further assistance and clarification.
I hope this post has been helpful and informative for you. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below. I wish you all the best in your service year. Cheers!
