1. Required Documents for Screening
All candidates must bring the original copies of the following documents:
- Educational certificates
- Professional certificates (if available)
- Identification documents such as JAMB slip, NYSC card or certificate, and national ID
- Required testimonials such as King’s Desert or similar documents issued by approved authorities
Photocopies alone will not be accepted.
Original documents are compulsory for identity and credential verification.
2. Why Original Documents Are Mandatory
The screening team must confirm that each document presented is authentic. During the process:
- Officials will inspect the originals and temporarily hold them
- All original documents will be returned to candidates afterward
- Only photocopies may remain with officials for record purposes
Bringing originals helps prevent errors, misidentification, and delays during verification.
3. Preparation Checklist Before the Screening Date
Candidates are advised to complete the following steps before arriving at the venue:
- Gather all required original documents
- Make at least eight photocopies of each document for personal use
- Ensure all documents are clean, readable, and properly arranged
- Keep documents in a secure file to avoid damage or loss
Candidates who do not provide original documents will not be allowed to participate in the screening.
4. Key Takeaway
The Nigerian Customs Service requires all applicants to present valid and original documents on 25 November 2025. Proper preparation saves time, reduces mistakes, and ensures a smooth screening experience.
