The NYSC portal login gives prospective corps members access to online registration, mobilisation information, payment services, correction requests, call-up letters and other important documents. The official portal is https://portal.nysc.org.ng, and graduates should use only this address when registering or accessing their dashboards.
Locally trained graduates must first ensure that their names appear on the Senate or Academic Board approved list submitted by their institutions. Foreign-trained Nigerian graduates must upload the required academic and travel documents and complete physical verification where applicable. Part-time graduates also use the portal, but they register to print their Letters of Exclusion rather than receive call-up letters.
This guide explains how to create an account, log in to the NYSC dashboard, complete registration, recover a password, make payment, print a Green Card and download a call-up letter.
Latest NYSC Portal Update for 2026
As of 15 July 2026, NYSC had scheduled the pre-camp physical verification of credentials and travel documents for eligible foreign-trained graduates in the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Service Year from Monday, 13 July to Wednesday, 15 July 2026. Affected graduates were expected to log in to their dashboards, select an available verification centre and print their verification slips.
However, NYSC had not published a new official general call-up letter printing date for 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II as of 15 July 2026. The mobilisation timetable displayed on the official NYSC website was still the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II timetable, last updated on 2 April 2026, and NYSC clearly marked the dates on that timetable as tentative.
Prospective corps members should therefore avoid relying on unofficial blogs, Facebook groups or WhatsApp messages that claim to know the next call-up letter or orientation camp date. Confirm all dates through the mobilisation timetable at https://www.nysc.gov.ng/mobtable.html and your personal NYSC dashboard.
What Is the Official NYSC Portal?
The official NYSC portal is the online self-service platform used by prospective corps members, serving corps members and some graduates who qualify for exemption or exclusion.
The correct portal address is https://portal.nysc.org.ng. NYSC also recognises https://www.nysc.gov.ng as its main official website.
Through the portal, eligible users can:
- Complete fresh NYSC registration
- Revalidate a previous deployment
- Apply for remobilisation where applicable
- View mobilisation information
- Check registration and payment status
- Print a Green Card
- View and print a call-up letter
- Print a Letter of Exclusion
- Apply for approved corrections
- Apply for relocation after camp
- Print relocation and reposting letters
- Recover a forgotten password
NYSC lists correction requests, call-up letter printing, exclusion letter printing, relocation applications and other self-service functions among the services available through the dashboard.
Who Can Create an NYSC Portal Account?
The following categories of graduates may use the NYSC portal when the appropriate registration window is open.
Locally Trained Full-Time Graduates
These are graduates of Nigerian universities, polytechnics and other approved corps-producing institutions.
Only locally trained graduates whose names appear on the Senate or Academic Board approved result list submitted by their institutions can complete registration on the NYSC portal.
Being on your institution’s graduation list does not automatically mean that you have been uploaded for NYSC mobilisation. Confirm your status before starting registration.
Foreign-Trained Nigerian Graduates
Nigerian citizens who studied outside the country must register online and upload their academic qualifications, passport pages and other travel documents.
Foreign-trained graduates must also complete the physical verification process communicated through their dashboards. Downloaded certificates, ordinary statements of result and attestation letters are not accepted in place of the required original academic documents.
Part-Time Graduates
Part-time, distance-learning and certain sandwich-programme graduates do not participate in the one-year national service.
They must nevertheless register on the NYSC portal when instructed so that they can print their Letters of Exclusion from their dashboards.
Graduates Qualified for Exemption
Full-time graduates who meet the legal conditions for exemption must also complete the required mobilisation process.
Eligible graduates may receive a Certificate of Exemption instead of a call-up letter. Locally trained graduates generally collect the certificate through their institutions, while foreign-trained graduates follow the collection instructions communicated by NYSC.
How to Confirm Your Name Before NYSC Registration
Locally trained graduates should check their mobilisation status before attempting to create an account.
The official Senate list verification page is available through the NYSC portal at https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc2/VerifySenateLists.aspx. NYSC advises Nigerian-trained graduates to confirm that the uploaded details are correct before registration.
You may be required to enter:
- Your institution
- Matriculation number
- Surname
- Date of birth
Check that your name, matriculation number, course and graduation details are accurate.
When the portal says your record cannot be found, contact your institution’s Student Affairs Office. NYSC specifically advises graduates to contact their institutions where a name is missing from the Senate list or a matriculation or JAMB number already exists.
NYSC Portal Registration Options Explained
The NYSC portal displays different options for graduates depending on their previous mobilisation status.
Fresh Registration
Choose Fresh Registration when you have never registered on the NYSC portal and have never been deployed for national service.
Do not select fresh registration simply because a new batch has started. Graduates who previously created accounts should normally continue with their existing details.
Revalidation
Revalidation is generally for a prospective corps member who was deployed in an earlier batch but did not report to the orientation camp.
The person logs in with the existing email address and password and completes the revalidation process when the option is available.
Remobilisation
Remobilisation is for a person who previously reported for service but later absconded from camp or abandoned the service year.
The NYSC portal distinguishes remobilisation from revalidation and fresh registration.
Do not select remobilisation merely because you missed the previous online registration period.
How to Complete Fresh Registration on the NYSC Portal
Complete the following steps when NYSC officially opens registration for your batch or stream.
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Open https://portal.nysc.org.ng in a reliable browser.
Check the address carefully before entering your personal information. Avoid links sent by unknown agents or unofficial social media accounts.
Step 2: Select Fresh Registration
Choose the fresh-registration option only when you have not previously registered on the portal or been deployed.
If you already have an account, return to the login page and use your existing email address and password.
Step 3: Create Your Account
Enter a functional email address that belongs to you and create a secure password.
NYSC advises prospective corps members to use email addresses they can access because the same email address and password will be needed for future portal logins.
Do not use:
- A cybercafé operator’s email address
- A friend’s email address
- An email account you cannot open
- A temporary email service
Step 4: Activate the Account
Check your email for the activation message sent by NYSC.
Open the email and select the activation link. Check the spam or junk folder when the message does not appear in your main inbox.
NYSC lists account creation and email activation as the first steps during online registration.
Step 5: Log In to the Dashboard
Return to https://portal.nysc.org.ng and select the option for users who already have an account.
Enter the email address and password used during account creation.
Step 6: Fill in Your Details
Complete the personal, educational and contact sections accurately.
Information requested may include:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Gender
- State of origin
- Local government area
- Institution
- Matriculation number
- JAMB registration number
- Course of study
- Class of degree
- Qualification
- Date of graduation
- Contact address
- Telephone number
- Next of kin
- Health status
Use the same information submitted by your institution.
Step 7: Complete Biometric Capture
You must personally provide your fingerprints during registration.
NYSC prohibits registration by proxy and advises prospective corps members to remember the fingers used for biometric capture because the same fingerprints will be required for verification at the orientation camp. Anyone who cannot be verified at camp may not be registered.
Do not allow another person to use their fingerprints for you.
Step 8: Upload a Passport Photograph
Upload a recent, clear passport photograph with a white or off-white background.
NYSC requires the full face, including the eyes, nose, ears, mouth and jaw, to be clearly visible. The photograph should be centred, fill the frame and contain no shadow.
Avoid filtered selfies, group photographs and photographs with dark backgrounds.
Step 9: Upload Supporting Documents
Foreign-trained graduates, married women and graduates seeking health-related concessional deployment must upload the relevant supporting documents.
Married female prospective corps members should upload evidence such as a marriage certificate, proof of change of name and documents showing their husbands’ places of residence.
Those seeking deployment on health grounds should upload a medical report from a federal or state government hospital and the treating doctor’s details.
Step 10: Preview the Form
Review every entry before submission.
Check:
- Name spelling and arrangement
- Date of birth
- Matriculation number
- Course of study
- Class of degree
- Graduation date
- Passport photograph
- Marital status
- Health information
NYSC advises applicants to preview the registration form before accepting the terms and submitting it.
Step 11: Submit the Registration
Accept the terms and conditions and submit the form.
Keep your registered email address and password securely because you will need them to access your dashboard, call-up letter and future services.
How to Log In to the NYSC Dashboard
Follow these steps whenever you need to access your account.
- Visit the official NYSC portal at https://portal.nysc.org.ng.
- Select the option marked for users who already have an account.
- Enter your registered email address.
- Enter your password exactly as created.
- Complete any security check displayed.
- Select the login button.
- Wait for your personal dashboard to load.
Do not create another account because your password is not working. Use the password-recovery option first.
What You Can Do on the NYSC Dashboard
The options shown on the dashboard depend on your registration category and current stage of mobilisation.
Check Your Registration Status
The dashboard shows whether your registration has been completed and may display your NYSC registration number.
When an important section remains incomplete, the portal may require you to finish it before other services become available.
Print Your Green Card
The Green Card is the personal details and registration slip produced after successful online registration.
It normally contains important information supplied during registration and should be printed, signed where required and kept safely for orientation camp registration.
The document may not literally be printed on green paper. “Green Card” is the common name used for the NYSC registration slip.
View Your Call-Up Number
A call-up number is the unique identification number assigned to a prospective corps member during mobilisation.
It usually identifies the service year, batch and candidate’s mobilisation record.
Receiving a call-up number does not always mean the call-up letter is immediately available. NYSC may display the number before activating call-up letter printing.
Print Your Call-Up Letter
Prospective corps members selected for deployment can print their call-up letters from the dashboard after NYSC activates the service.
The letter normally contains:
- Candidate’s name
- Call-up number
- Batch and stream
- State of deployment
- Orientation camp address
- Reporting date
- Important camp instructions
- Required documents
Read the entire letter rather than checking only the state of deployment.
Apply for Corrections
The dashboard may provide options for correction of:
- Name spelling or rearrangement
- Date of birth
- Course of study
- Class of degree
- Qualification
NYSC does not approve the addition or removal of names through the ordinary name-correction option. Course, class of degree and qualification corrections require action by the institution’s Student Affairs Officer.
Print Other Official Letters
Depending on the user’s status, the dashboard may allow the printing of:
- Letter of Exclusion
- Relocation letter
- Reposting letter
- Place of Primary Assignment letter
- Leave approval letter
These functions are available only when NYSC activates them for the individual account.
How to Print an NYSC Call-Up Letter
Follow these steps after NYSC officially announces that call-up letters are available.
Step 1: Log In to Your Dashboard
Visit https://portal.nysc.org.ng and enter your registered email address and password.
Step 2: Find the Call-Up Letter Option
Look for the call-up letter notification or printing option on the dashboard.
When no option appears, call-up letters may not have been released for your stream, or you may not have been included in that deployment.
Step 3: Open the Letter
Select the available call-up letter option and allow the document to load.
Use a browser that supports PDF files. Avoid opening the portal through a Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp in-app browser.
Step 4: Read the Instructions
Confirm your:
- Full name
- Call-up number
- Batch and stream
- State of deployment
- Orientation camp address
- Reporting date
Check the list of required camp documents and follow the reporting instructions exactly.
Step 5: Download the Letter
Use the browser’s download or save option to store the call-up letter as a PDF.
Give it a clear name such as “NYSC Call-Up Letter 2026”.
Step 6: Print Clear Copies
Print the document in full.
Ensure that:
- The barcode is clear
- Your photograph is visible
- No section is cut off
- The call-up number is readable
- All pages are included
Keep an electronic copy in your email or cloud storage in case the printed copy is lost.
Who Can Print a Call-Up Letter Online?
NYSC states that prospective corps members who want their call-up numbers sent by SMS and wish to print their call-up letters online are required to pay the portal fee.
The official registration requirements page currently lists the amount as ₦2,786.24. Candidates should confirm the amount displayed on their dashboards before paying because payment information may be updated.
Those who do not pay the online printing fee may collect their call-up numbers and physical call-up letters through their institutions. Candidates who paid during an earlier registration but were not mobilised are not expected to pay the same fee again.
Part-time graduates do not receive call-up letters. They register to print their Letters of Exclusion.
How to Make Payment on the NYSC Portal
Follow these steps when a payment option appears on your dashboard.
- Log in at https://portal.nysc.org.ng.
- Select the payment option displayed on the dashboard.
- Review the payment-confirmation page.
- Select the option to proceed.
- Allow the portal to redirect you to Remita.
- Choose an available card, wallet or bank payment method.
- Complete the transaction.
- Return to the dashboard and check the payment status.
Candidates who want to pay at a bank can generate a Remita Retrieval Reference and take the number to an approved bank branch. The payment status can be checked through the NYSC Remita transaction page at https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc1/TransactionStatus_remita.
Do not transfer money to a personal bank account supplied by an agent or cybercafé operator.
Why Is My NYSC Call-Up Letter Not Showing?
The absence of a call-up letter does not always mean there is a problem with your registration.
Possible reasons include:
Call-Up Letters Have Not Been Released
NYSC may have completed online registration without activating call-up letter printing.
Check the official mobilisation timetable and wait for an announcement.
You Were Not Included in the Current Stream
Orientation camps have limited capacity. Some successfully registered prospective corps members may be moved to another stream.
Continue checking your dashboard rather than creating another account.
Your Registration Is Incomplete
Log in and check whether the portal is requesting:
- Biometric capture
- Passport photograph
- Payment confirmation
- Document upload
- Foreign-graduate verification
- Another compulsory action
Complete the outstanding requirement.
Foreign Documents Have Not Been Verified
Foreign-trained graduates must complete document evaluation and physical verification before they can be considered for deployment, exemption or exclusion.
Affected candidates should follow the verification date, venue and instructions displayed on their dashboards.
Your Payment Has Not Been Confirmed
A successful debit does not always mean the portal has confirmed the transaction.
Use the payment-status option and retain the Remita receipt and reference number.
You Registered as a Part-Time Graduate
Part-time graduates receive Letters of Exclusion, not call-up letters.
Check for the exclusion-letter option on your dashboard when NYSC activates it.
How to Recover a Forgotten NYSC Portal Password
Do not create another registration account when you forget your password.
Follow these steps:
- Visit https://portal.nysc.org.ng.
- Select the forgotten-password or password-recovery option.
- Enter the email address used during registration.
- Follow the reset instructions sent to the email.
- Create a new secure password.
- Return to the portal and log in.
Check your spam or junk folder if the password-reset message does not appear.
When you no longer have access to the registered email address, contact NYSC support rather than paying an unofficial agent to recover the account.
Common NYSC Portal Login Problems and Solutions
“Invalid Email Address or Password”
Check the spelling of your email address and ensure that the keyboard’s Caps Lock is not changing your password.
Use the password-reset option when necessary.
Activation Email Not Received
Check the spam, junk and promotions folders.
Confirm that the email address entered during account creation was correct. Allow some time before requesting another activation email.
Portal Is Not Opening
Heavy traffic can slow down the NYSC portal during registration and call-up letter periods.
Try:
- Switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi
- Using Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge
- Clearing the browser cache
- Trying again during a less busy period
- Opening the portal directly rather than through a social media browser
- Disabling an aggressive browser extension temporarily
Do not submit your registration several times because the page is slow.
“No Record Found”
Locally trained graduates should confirm that their institutions uploaded their names correctly.
Contact your Student Affairs Office when your name is missing, your matriculation number is incorrect or another person’s record appears to be connected to your details.
Dashboard Is Blank
Refresh the page once and log in through another browser.
A blank dashboard may also occur when the portal is undergoing maintenance or experiencing high traffic.
Green Card Is Not Available
Confirm that you submitted every section of the registration form successfully.
The Green Card may not appear while a compulsory step remains incomplete.
Payment Was Deducted but Not Updated
Do not immediately make another payment.
Check the payment status with your Remita reference, email address or telephone number through the transaction-status service. Keep your debit alert and payment receipt.
Important NYSC Portal Safety Warnings
Use only the official portal at https://portal.nysc.org.ng and the main NYSC website at https://www.nysc.gov.ng.
Do not:
- Give your email password to a cybercafé operator
- Allow another person to provide fingerprints for you
- Pay for a fake Senate list upload
- Create multiple registration accounts
- Upload forged documents

- Pay for a guaranteed state of deployment
- Transfer NYSC fees to an individual’s bank account
- Share your call-up letter publicly

Conclusion
The NYSC portal login is the main gateway for online registration, mobilisation updates, dashboard services, Green Card printing and call-up letter access.
Use only https://portal.nysc.org.ng, register with an email address that belongs to you and keep your login details secure. Locally trained graduates should confirm their names on the Senate list, while foreign-trained graduates must complete the required document verification.
After registration, monitor your dashboard for your call-up number and call-up letter. Do not assume that a social media date is official, and do not create another account when your call-up letter does not appear immediately.
As of 15 July 2026, NYSC had not published a confirmed general call-up letter printing date for 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II. Continue checking your dashboard and the official mobilisation timetable for the next instruction.
