How Long Before State Code Change After NYSC Relocation?

During the NYSC orientation camp, corps members who do not like their state of deployment are given the opportunity to apply for relocation to another state if they have valid reasons for doing so. Reasons for relocation may include medical grounds, security concerns, marital status, or proximity to family.

If a corps member’s application for relocation is successful, their NYSC state code will be changed to reflect their new state of service. However, there is a waiting period before this change takes effect.

How Long Does It Take for State Code to Change After NYSC Relocation?

The time it takes for a state code to change after NYSC relocation can vary depending on the state in which the corps member is relocating to. However, it typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks for the change to be processed.

Once the state code has been changed, the corps member will need to report to the NYSC secretariat in their new state of service. They will then be assigned a Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) and begin their service.

How to Change Your State Code After NYSC Relocation
