NYSC Announces Physical Verification for 2024 Batch ‘C’ Foreign-Trained Graduates: Key Dates, Centres, and Requirements
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has set the stage for the physical verification of credentials and travel documents for foreign-trained graduates joining the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream I. This essential process, which ensures that all documents are genuine, will take place from November 18 to 20, 2024. If you’re a prospective corps member (PCM) in this category, here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth verification process.
What is the NYSC Physical Verification?
The physical verification exercise is a mandatory step for all foreign-trained graduates. It allows NYSC officials to confirm that the documents you submitted during online registration are authentic and meet the required standards. Without this step, you cannot be cleared for deployment or service.
Key Dates to Remember
- Start Date: Monday, 18th November 2024
- End Date: Wednesday, 20th November 2024
It’s critical to attend this verification on the date, time, and location indicated in your verification slip. This helps prevent overcrowding and ensures a smooth process.
Designated Verification Centres
The NYSC has set up several verification centres across the country where you can get your documents checked:
- Enugu: NYSC Secretariat, 2 Abakaliki Road, G.R.A, Enugu State
- Bauchi: Shadawanka Military Barracks, Bauchi, Bauchi State

Make sure you attend the centre closest to you as indicated on your verification slip.
What You Need to Bring
To complete the verification, you must bring original copies of all documents you submitted during the online registration. These include:
- Degree Certificates – Your original degree or diploma.
- Travel Documents – Passport, visa, and any other relevant documents.
- Evaluation Letter – If applicable, a letter from the Federal Ministry of Education verifying your foreign qualifications.
- Medical Graduates – If you studied medicine, be sure to bring your professional licenses, registration certificates, and any other documents from your regulatory body.
Failure to provide the correct documents may delay your clearance for deployment.
What Happens After Verification?
Only PCMs whose credentials have been successfully verified will be eligible for deployment or exemption. Those who fail to meet the requirements may face delays or be excluded from the service year entirely.
If you have any evaluation letters from the Ministry of Education, make sure you submit them at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja. You must also upload a scanned copy of these documents during the online registration process.
Final Reminder
This verification is a crucial step for all foreign-trained graduates in the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream I. Ensure that you attend on the specified dates with all required documents. This will prevent delays in your deployment and guarantee that you’re ready to begin your NYSC service year.
