NYSC Date of Birth Correction: Step-by-Step Guide for Prospective Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has released updated guidelines on how prospective and serving corps members can correct their date of birth on the NYSC portal. If your date of birth is incorrect in the system, this guide walks you through the correction process.

Requirements Before You Start

• A 19 or 20-digit WAEC Verification Pin
• Access to your NYSC dashboard (initial registration must be submitted first)
• Your WAEC examination details (type, year, and examination number)

Step-by-Step Correction Process

Step 1: Get Your WAEC Verification Pin

Obtain a 19 or 20-digit verification pin from WAEC. This pin is required to sync your details with the WAEC database.

Step 2: Access Your NYSC Dashboard

Log in to your NYSC personal dashboard. You must have completed and submitted your initial registration to access the correction feature.

Step 3: Locate the Correction Link

On your dashboard, find and click on the "Correction of Date of Birth" link within the available options.

Step 4: Enter Your Details

Fill in the following information:

• WAEC Verification Pin
• WAEC Examination Type
• Year of Examination
• Examination Number

Step 5: Verify Your Information

Click the "Verify" button to allow the system to sync your data with the WAEC database and retrieve the correct date of birth.

Step 6: Submit or Cancel

Review the corrected information carefully. Click "Submit" to save the changes, or "Cancel" if you need to review further.

Important Notes

• Ensure all details you provide match your academic records exactly to avoid complications during physical verification
• The correction pulls data directly from the WAEC database, so your WAEC records must be accurate
• Complete this correction before your orientation camp date to avoid issues during registration
