The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a crucial program for Nigerian graduates, requiring accurate documentation, including the correct Date of Birth (DOB) information. However, errors or discrepancies in the DOB can occur, causing inconvenience and complications during the registration process. To assist NYSC Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) in rectifying such issues, here is a step-by-step guide outlining the necessary steps and precautions for correcting the Date of Birth.

Apply for Date of Birth Correction on your NYSC dashboard with WAEC:
To initiate the correction process, PCMs need to access their NYSC dashboard and apply for the Date of Birth Correction. This can be done by providing the necessary details and obtaining a WAEC Verification pin, which is essential for the subsequent steps.
Utilize the DOB link during Online Registration:
During the Online Registration for NYSC, PCMs should make use of the Date of Birth Correction link available on their dashboard. This link facilitates the correction process and enables them to update their DOB accurately.
Consider the four-year rule with WAEC Certificate:
It is important to note that the WAEC Certificate being used for the DOB correction must be equal to or more than four years at the time of graduation. This requirement ensures the authenticity and validity of the certificate for the correction process.
Avoid using another person’s WAEC details:
PCMs must refrain from using another individual’s WAEC details to apply for the Date of Birth Correction. This act is considered unauthorized and will result in disapproval of the application. Providing accurate and genuine information is essential to avoid any complications.
Verify the consistency of names between WAEC and dashboard:
To prevent disparities or inconsistencies, PCMs should verify that their names on the WAEC Certificate match the ones provided on their NYSC dashboard. Consistency in names is crucial for a smooth DOB correction process and subsequent documentation.
Check the notification for application processing:
After submitting the application for Date of Birth Correction, PCMs should regularly check their email for notifications. NYSC will send a notification once the application has been processed. Upon receiving the notification, the PCM should log in to their dashboard and check their Mobilization status for any updates.
Exemption status and Exemption Certificate:
If the PCM’s status remains unchanged after the correction process, it indicates that they are exempted from the NYSC program. In such cases, the PCM will need to visit their institution three months after the notification and collect their Exemption Certificate, which validates their exemption from the NYSC program.
Note the limitation on DOB Correction after Camp Registration:
It is important to note that DOB Correction requests cannot be made after the PCM has completed Camp Registration. Therefore, PCMs should prioritize rectifying any DOB errors before proceeding with other stages of the NYSC program.

Accurate documentation, including the Date of Birth, is crucial for a seamless NYSC experience. By following this step-by-step guide, NYSC Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) can effectively correct any DOB discrepancies, ensuring a smooth registration process and allowing them to fully participate in this significant program.
