This marks a major step in the recruitment process, as the Service begins its next phase of assessment for qualified candidates.

How to Check Your Nigeria Customs Service Exam Date, Time, and Pre-Test Link

Candidates who have been shortlisted can now confirm their test details by following the steps below:

1. Visit the official portal: https://updates.customs.gov.ng
2. Enter your NIN or email address in the space provided.
3. Click on “Verify Details.”
4. Once your record opens, you’ll see your full name, email, position applied for, test date, test time, and pre-test link.
5. If you receive any message other than your exam information, it means you are not qualified for this phase of the recruitment process.

Important Notice for Inspectorate and Customs Assistant Cadres

Applicants under the Inspectorate Cadre and Customs Assistant Cadre can now log in to their dashboard and take the pre-test immediately. The pre-test is available online, and candidates are advised to complete it as soon as possible to avoid last-minute technical issues. Ensure you use a computer or laptop with a webcam and a stable internet connection when taking the test. Mobile phones are not recommended for this stage.

Key Tips Before Taking the Test

• Verify that your internet connection is strong and your device supports full-screen mode.
• Avoid switching tabs or windows during the test — doing so may result in disqualification.
• Sit in a quiet, well-lit environment where your face is clearly visible on camera.
• Read and follow all instructions carefully before beginning the test.
  Completing your pre-test early will help you become familiar with the system before the main CBT exam.
