Changing your date of birth or course of study is possible on the NYSC online portal dashboard.
The NYSC change of birth portal dashboard is the online platform where the National Youth Service Corps members can make corrections to the error with their date of birth.
Many prospective youth corpers make mistakes with their date of birth or course of study during their online registration on the NYSC portal. For this reason, you can do a change of date or course of study on the NYSC portal login dashboard.
The NYSC discharge certificate carries your date of birth, full name, NYSC certificate & Call Up number and year of service.
A mistake with your date of birth on the discharge certificate will hinder your chances of employment and appointment for political offices.
In this post, I will show you the easy steps on how you can apply for a change of date of birth and course of study on the NYSC portal.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further assistance. I would love to hear from you.

NYSC Date of Birth
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uses WAEC and JAMB exam date of birth. Your date of birth (DOB) registration with these examination boards must be the same.
Any discrepancy with your date of birth will affect you in the future.
It will take you between twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours to change your date of birth on the NYSC online portal.
The NYSC change of date of birth is free.
NYSC Age Requirement
The NYSC age requirement for prospective youth service corpers is thirty (30) years. Prospective corp members cannot register for the National Youth Service Corps if they are above thirty (30) years.
Graduates above thirty (30) years would get the NYSC exemption certificate.
There is no disadvantage to getting the NYSC exemption certificate letter.
NYSC uses the date of birth on your JAMB and WAEC certificates for mobilization for the youth service orientation camp.
The only way to reduce your age for NYSC is to change your date of birth on the JAMB portal through regularization. You would also have to update your age with your school senate committee.

Pls what can I do with discharge NYSC certificate that does not tally with weac certificate.
Hello Oladeji,
The WAEC certificate not tallying should not be a problem. A problem occurs when it’s your JAMB details that are not tallying.
But depending on why it is not tallying, you can decide to swear an affidavit.
Someone whose result was approved in March and d person clocked 30 in April the same year is the person eligible for Nysc the same year 2022
Hello Cyndy,
The person is no longer eligible but you can contact the NYSC office for clarification.

You should do it before registration. It will help you have a smooth NYSC registration.
No it doesn’t have to. You’ll just have to use the date of birth on your Jamb for NYSC registration

Hello Ucee,
Sorry about your experience.
I advise you give it a few more days for the changes to effect.
It should reflect within a week.
I made correction on my dob in jamb office, after nysc registration, instead of call up letter, I receive letter that nysc would only effect correction on already produce exemption letter, after three month of registration. some site say 24 hour after registration,
my question is would still be mobilise for the next batch
Hello Damilare,
I hope you are having a great day.
Has the new date of birth been reflected on your JAMB portal?
The time duration for effecting such changes varies.
But it could have been resolved in less than a month.
What is the response from the JAMB office?
