The NYSC Record Number, also known as the NYSC Certificate Number, is a unique identification number that appears on the NYSC Discharge Certificate.

This number is assigned to each NYSC Discharge Certificate as a way to distinguish it from others. It can be found at the top right corner of the certificate, just below the year of service.
