NYSC Revalidation for Foreign Students

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a mandatory one-year service program for all Nigerian graduates under the age of 30. However, there are instances where prospective corps members may miss their orientation camp or fail to report for service.

In such cases, the NYSC offers a revalidation process that allows these individuals to participate in the subsequent batch.

What is NYSC Revalidation?

NYSC revalidation is a process that allows prospective corps members who have missed their orientation camp or failed to report for service to apply to serve in the subsequent batch. This process involves updating their previously registered information on the NYSC portal and making a fresh application. Revalidation is typically carried out when NYSC opens its portal for new registration.

Who is Eligible for NYSC Revalidation?

The following categories of prospective corps members are eligible for NYSC revalidation:

• Prospective corps members who missed their orientation camp due to unforeseen circumstances.
• Prospective corps members who were deployed by NYSC to a state but were unable to make it to the orientation camp due to valid reasons.

How to Apply for NYSC Revalidation

1. Visit the NYSC revalidation portal via https://www.portal.nysc.org.ng.
2. Locate and click on the “Revalidation” link on the portal.
3. Enter the email address and password you used for registration in the previous batch.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the revalidation process. You may be required to make an additional payment and choose your preferred state of deployment.
5. Once you’ve completed the revalidation process, click on the “Submit” button and print out your revalidation slip.

Note:

• Revalidation can only be done in batches: Revalidation cannot be done for individual streams within a batch. It is only available for the entire batch.
• NYSC will automatically revalidate certain PCMs: If you failed to report to camp in Stream 1 of a specific batch, NYSC will automatically revalidate you into Stream 2. You can also wait until the next batch to revalidate manually.
• NYSC revalidation is not available for all cases: Revalidation is not available for prospective corps members who were absent from camp due to disciplinary reasons or those who have exceeded the age limit for service.
