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.
NYSC Course of Study
The NYCS Change of Course of study is available on the NYSC online portal dashboard.
You make corrections for the course you studied in school.

Good evening sir happy new year,please my result will be approved by senate February ,and i will be 30year. By may this year,please can i go for service
Hello Oma,
I wish you a fruitful year.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) stipulates that graduates must be below or not above 30 years old at the time of graduation. This means your age at the time your final results are officially approved and released by the senate is what determines your eligibility, not your current age.
It means you are eligible for service. I wish you the best of luck.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Hello, I’m a foreign student, I registered for NYSC Mobilization this month, and I graduated on 10th /1/2017, my date of birth date is 8th/7/ 1987 same as my international passport. After evaluation and physical verification, I found out I was exempted and the exemption certificate is being processed, later I realized they used my WAEC date of birth which shows 8th/7/1984 to evaluate me instead of my international passport date of birth.
I received this message on my dashboard as follow:
“Dear D…..D…….,
Kindly note the following for confirmation;
Name: D…..D…..
Date of Birth: 08/07/1987
Date of Graduation: 10/01/2017
Please be informed that NYSC will only effect correction on already produced certificate of exemption within 3 Month from the date of your online registration, Particularly, your date of birth.
You are therefore advised to collect your original certificate of exemption from NYSC HQ on time.
Thank You”
My worries is that I want apply for a change of date of birth to the one on my international passport, will it affect the exemption certificate. For me I want an exemption letter I don’t want to go for the NYSC but I want to have the same date of birth as my passport. Because I realized that that using the date of birth on my passport I will be 29 years 6month, not up 30 at the time of graduation. And they said correction can only be done after receiving the original exemption letter.
Thanks
I understand your concern about the date of birth discrepancy on your NYSC exemption certificate. Here’s how to address it:
1. Contact NYSC Immediately:
Don’t wait to receive the exemption certificate. Since you’re within the 3-month window for correction (from online registration), contact NYSC headquarters directly and explain the situation. Highlight these points:
a. You’re a foreign student exempt from service.
b. The exemption certificate uses your WAEC date of birth (1984) instead of your passport’s date (1987).
c. You want to correct the date of birth to match your passport.
Contact options:
NYSC Headquarters phone number: You can find their contact details on the official NYSC website (https://www.nysc.gov.ng/).
Email: Consider sending an email explaining the situation and attaching a copy of your passport for reference.
2. Emphasize Exemption Status:
Clearly state your exemption and lack of interest in NYSC service. Explain that the date correction is solely to ensure consistency with your passport, a crucial document.
3. Be Prepared:
While the website mentions a 3-month window for correction, NYSC might require additional verification for a foreign student. Be prepared to provide supporting documents like:
a. A copy of your international passport (birth date proof).
b. Evidence of your foreign student status (acceptance letter, visa documents).
c. Any official communication you received regarding exemption.
4. Follow-up is Key:
Maintain communication with NYSC. If you don’t receive a response within a reasonable timeframe, politely follow up on your request.
Here’s the key takeaway:
The date of birth correction shouldn’t affect your exemption status. It’s about ensuring consistency with your passport, a vital document. By acting promptly and providing proper documentation, you can hopefully get the exemption certificate with the correct date of birth.
Good day sir
There was a mistake on my jamb dob Buh I had it corrected on my weac certificate,but am using three names on my weac while two on jamb can I still use my weac certificate to correct it on my nysc dashboard when registration started?
Hello Ibrahim,
The DOB on your JAMB portal is what would be used for your NYSC mobilization.
I advise you do the correction on your JAMB profile as soon as possible.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Good day, please i would like to know your advice on this, I have just passed out from NYSC and my discharge certificate is showing the wrong Date of Birth, please how will I go about this?.
Unfortunately, NYSC does not officially entertain requests for date of birth correction on discharge certificates after service completion.
This policy is strictly enforced to maintain document integrity and prevent possible misuse.
The solution is to get an affidavit from a court of law declaring the error in your date of birth.
Please sir can i go for service will be 30 in may 2024, and my result be will approved by February next month, is it possible for me to go to service
Hello Oma,
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) stipulates that graduates must be below or not above 30 years old at the time of graduation. This means your age at the time your final results are officially approved and released by the senate is what determines your eligibility, not your current age.

Let me know if you have further questions.
Please i have a question ?♂️
My date of birth on Waec is wrong and likewise the one on jamb, but have gone to do the correction on jamb so i was told to submit the form to my school!
Firstly if i should submit the form to school how long will it take to reflect on jamb??
Secondly have registered for nysc but haven’t gone to camp so will it reflect??
Please i will like to have even if it’s your business number for smooth communication
If you’ve already followed JAMB’s official procedures for date of birth correction, including submitting the Indemnity Form to your school, the timeframe for reflection can vary. It typically takes three (3) weeks.
If you haven’t attended NYSC camp yet, the date of birth correction on JAMB shouldn’t affect your NYSC registration as long as the correction processes are completed before your camp date.
Once the correction reflects on JAMB, it will likely update on your NYSC registration as well. However, it’s best to confirm with NYSC to ensure everything is in order.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Good afternoon sir
Pls I need an enlightening to this question bothering my mind sir I have errors of age on both my waec and jamb results, which I try to correct it now but they didn’t approve it In jamb I have March 20 *1993* on jamb and I have *MAY* 20 1995 on my waec and have gotten an affidavit for two, but my fear is not going for service pls sir what can I do to go for service coz if I should use the one one jamb I will be 31 next year and NYSC maximum age is 30 and also the month on my waec is not correct it is May instead of *March* pls sir what did you think I can do?
Hello Seyi,
I understand your situation and the urgency of wanting to participate in NYSC before exceeding the age limit. Here are some options you can consider:
Do you know why your age correction was rejected by JAMB?
Good day. How long will it take for change of course on the nysc website take?
Ps- my jamb course is correct
Hello Rigel
It takes about two (2) weeks for the changes to reflect.
Good morning, pls my question is that, my date of birth in jamb portal is 10/07/1994 and I graduate this year, and the school Senate not mobilize our names for nysc until next year 2024 and when it reach 2024 is 30 years so I can apply for nysc in 2024 because the exact date to reach 30 years 10/07/2024 or I can’t unless I apply for the change of date of birth
Yes, you can apply for NYSC in 2024, even if you reach 30 years old on the exact date of mobilization. The NYSC age limit is calculated based on your age on the day you graduate, not your age on the day of mobilization.
This is because the NYSC mobilization process can take several months, and it is possible that you may not be mobilized until after you have turned 30. However, as long as you graduated before you turned 30, you are still eligible to serve.
Here is an example:
* Your date of birth is 10/07/1994.
* You graduate from university in December 2023.
* You are mobilized for NYSC in January 2024.
* You reach 30 years old on 10/07/2024.
Even though you reach 30 years old on the exact date of mobilization, you are still eligible to serve because you graduated before you turned 30.
Therefore, you do not need to apply for a change of date of birth in order to apply for NYSC in 2024.
I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your NYSC service!
My jamb is carrying 1992 and my waec is carrying 1995 I don’t know if I should use my nin to do another jamb registration or I should use waec to do the correction
Note I have done my biodata
Which of the DOB is correct?

Therefore, you do not need to apply for a change of date of birth in order to apply for NYSC in 2024.
I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your NYSC service!
Good evening Mr Blessing, I have an issue that’ve been eating me up since I registered for my NYSC on Thursday. I discovered that the DOB my Jamb is 1996 and I have 1997 on my Waec and my NYSC is showing 1996 and I believed it 1996 that is going to be recorded on my certificate which I don’t want that .
What do you suggest I do or what is the solution now before camp begins.
To correct the DOB mismatch on your JAMB and WAEC results, you will need to apply for JAMB regularization. To do this, you will need to visit the JAMB office.
Once your application is processed and approved, your JAMB date of birth will be updated to match the one on your WAEC result slip. You can then proceed to register for NYSC again, using your updated JAMB date of birth.
Note: It is important to apply for JAMB regularization as soon as possible, so that you have enough time to get your date of birth updated before NYSC camp begins.
If you have any questions or concerns about the JAMB regularization process, you can let me know.
Hi good morning. Pls how long does it take to effect change of course on the Nysc portal. I applied for change of course since a week ago but it has been pending and I did relocation, I haven’t seen my ppa letter. Does it have any link to it?
It takes about two (2) weeks for the change to reflect.
Good day…
The link to change my DOB is not showing on my dashboard. What could be the problem?
Hello Ade,
Have you completed your NYSC registration?
I have my real DOB on my waec which was 3rd July 1994 and my Jamb DOB was 3rd July 1993. I graduated this years. I’m waiting for my institution to released my statement of result in order to know if I’m qualify for service. My question is that, can i correct my date of birth on NYSC portal with my waec?
Ade,
NYSC uses the date of birth on your JAMB profile.
I went to jamb office and i was issue an indemnity form to submit to my institution. It’s been over a month I’m still waiting for jamb to rectify the DOB to 1994. Another problem I’m having is that my name has been included on my institution senate list on NYSC portal Batch C. I want to know if the correction on jamb date of birth would still work since my name is out on the senate list and what do you think i should do since my name has been included on NYSC senate list. Can i apply for the WAEC DOB correction on NYSC portal through waec verification pin?
Please i would be happy to hear back from you.
Yes, you can still apply for the date of birth correction on the NYSC portal through the WAEC verification pin, even though your name has been included on the senate list. However, you should note that the correction process may take some time, and you may not be able to participate in the upcoming batch of NYSC orientation until the correction is complete.
Your request will be processed by the NYSC and you will be notified of the outcome. If your request is approved, your date of birth will be corrected on the NYSC portal and you will be able to participate in the next batch of NYSC orientation.
In the meantime, you should continue to follow up with the JAMB office to ensure that your date of birth correction request is processed as quickly as possible.
Thanks for the information. I would like to be sure if you mean i should go ahead with my NYSC registration and make use of NYSC waec verification pin for DOB correction. Although, I just found out that my current age on jamb has exceeded 30+2days base on my institution notification of result but my real DOB on waec 1994. Please I’m thinking of going ahead with NYSC registration and make use of waec verification pin for correction of my DOB but I’m not sure if that will work while i still 1993 on my jamb portal. I want you to enlighten me on the step to take and don’t forget that my name is already included on NYSC senate list. I’m hoping to go with the next batch C stream2 if the waec verification works.
I would be happy to hear back from you.
Hello Ade,
Which date of birth is correct?
Also, I have you met with the student affairs officer of your school?

Hello Ade,
Which date of birth is correct?
Also, I have you met with the student affairs officer of your school?
My correct date of birth is 1994. I have already went to the student affairs officer of my school to confirm the date senate approved my result he said 05/07/23 which was tally with the one on NYSC senate list and my jamb DOB was 03/07/1993 while my real age on Waec was 1994. I don’t know if i should go ahead with the NYSC waec verification pin once batch c stream2 registration started or what do you think i should do since jamb are delaying?
Based on the information you have provided, I recommend that you go ahead with the NYSC WAEC verification pin once Batch C Stream 2 registration starts. This is because your date of birth on the NYSC Senate list is the same as the date that your school confirmed with you, which is also the date on your WAEC result.
Even though your JAMB date of birth is incorrect, you will be able to correct it after you have completed your NYSC registration. To do this, you will need to submit a sworn affidavit and a copy of your WAEC result to the NYSC office.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Please make it clear to me. Will I need to visit NYSC office to submit my informations or I’m going do that online on NYSC portal (online) and can I use declarations of age by National Population Commission instead of sworn affidavits. The National Population Commission DOB document also signed in court.
You can submit your documents online through the NYSC portal. You do not need to visit the NYSC office in person.
Acceptable documents for date of birth correction:
1. Sworn affidavit from a High Court of Justice
2. Declaration of age from the National Population Commission (NPC)
Yes, you can use a declaration of age from the National Population Commission instead of a sworn affidavit to correct your date of birth with the NYSC. However, the NPC declaration of age document must be signed in court.
Good day sir
I had an issue which I want to share and to know what I can do about it sir
I registered my jamb then in 2016 and then I was so small,so there was a mistake in my date of birth (my real date of birth was 1999 but in the jamb they make a big mistake by putting 1996) and I notice it recently that there is a mistake and I hv been trying to do the corrections of the date of birth provided with all d necessary documents like affidavit and d likes at jamb office and even submitted correction of dob indemnity to my college but it’s not corrected yet, and I am about to register nysc pls what can I do because I don’t want to have wrong date of birth on my Nysc certificate
Hello isaiah,
I understand your concern. It is important to have the correct date of birth on your NYSC certificate, as this will be used for many purposes in the future.
Has it been up to a month since you submitted your documents to the JAMB office?
What response did you get after the submission?
Good day sir, my waec dob is above 30 while my jamb dob is below 30 I have registered waiting for call up letter will there be any issue in camp registration.
No,
You won’t encounter any issue at camp.
Good morning sir, I took a wrong advise by reducing my age (NIN) to 1997. My age is 10/ August/1993 , I believe I can also serve. The main problem here I have an old jamb number 1993 , but I didn’t use because I told the jamb sttaff I don’t have any jamb number . I carry on with the registration process and am done, I received am indemnity form which i took to my school (new age 1997). Now am asking can I do another regularzation using my old age . Am so worry because my waec is carrying 1993 . Please I need your advice
I understand your concern. It is possible to do another regularization using your old age, but there are a few things you need to do first.
First, you need to get a letter from your school stating that you were enrolled as a student in the year 1993. This letter should be signed by the school registrar or another authorized official.
Second, you need to submit a copy of your WAEC result to JAMB. This will prove that your actual date of birth is 10/August/1993.
Once you have these documents, you can apply for regularization with JAMB.
Good day sir, my waec dob is above 30 while my jamb dob is below 30 I have registered waiting for my call up letter will there be any issue during camp registration.
No,
You won’t encounter any issue at camp.
Hi, please I want you to help me to change my DOB on my jamb portal, how much will it cost?
The cost of changing your date of birth on your JAMB portal is ₦3,500. You can pay this fee online or at any JAMB accredited bank.
Good morning sir please I have done my registration yesterday after which was issued an exemption letter. What can I do to go for my service. The problem is age limit which I sworn an affidavit since 2016 . please what can I do
According to the NYSC official website, affidavits are no longer accepted for correcting date of birth after NYSC registration. The only way to correct your date of birth after registration is to apply for a correction on your dashboard. However, the deadline for applying for a correction has passed, so you will need to contact the NYSC directly to inquire about your options.
good day sir,
I observed that most questions on date of birth most especially as you(admin) have been emphasizing on jamb profile as what nysc uses, but my question now is can one have a different dob on jamb that will be different from the one on waec for nysc mobilization.
Yemi,
Why do you want to have a different DOB?
Please can I still go for service cox I graduated at 2021 July n my date of birth is is 2nd September 1991… So as of the time I graduated I didn’t reach 30 because my birthday month is in September..
Yes, you can still go for service. The age limit for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme is 30 years.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you graduated from university in July 2021 and your date of birth is September 2, 1991, you will not turn 30 until September 2, 2024. This means that you have up to one year after graduation to register for the NYSC scheme.
Please good day. I just finished my registration for the nysc batch B2 but I cannot see any link for the change of DOB please I checked everywhere. And the only problem is that the when I was registering for jamb back then the cafe man put 3rd April 1995 instead of 8th April 1995. Please is that a concern since everything I used 8th
You are correct, there is no link for changing your date of birth on the NYSC portal after you have completed your registration. However, you can still apply for a change of date of birth by submitting an affidavit.
To do this, you will need to get an affidavit from a notary public. The affidavit should state that the date of birth on your NYSC registration is incorrect and that the correct date of birth is 8th April 1995. You will also need to attach a copy of your WAEC certificate to the affidavit.
Once you have the affidavit, you can submit it to the NYSC along with a letter requesting a change of date of birth. The NYSC will review your application and make a decision.
In your case, since you have used the correct date of birth for everything else, it is unlikely that the NYSC will have a problem with changing your date of birth on your NYSC registration. However, it is always best to check with the NYSC to make sure.
Here are the steps on how to apply for a change of date of birth with NYSC:
1. Get an affidavit from a notary public.
2. Attach a copy of your WAEC certificate to the affidavit.
3. Write a letter to the NYSC requesting a change of date of birth.
4. Submit the affidavit, WAEC certificate, and letter to the NYSC.
The NYSC will review your application and make a decision. It may take a few weeks for them to process your application.
I hope this helps!

My guess is that the changes was not done correctly last year.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Please My DoB on jamb is 1993 but my correct DoB in all my other documents is 1994. I noticed this after the Nysc registration, although I have seen my call up number and have printed my green slip which carries incorrect date but I will like to know if jamb regularization is not too late to fix this because at the time I’m posting this the registration is closed for my batch (batch B stream 1)
Hello Sunday,
It is not too late to fix your date of birth on JAMB. You can still apply for correction of data even after the registration deadline.
Hi, on my jamb profile my name was written as Adewumi Adebayo k
But the k is on my school portal as Kunle, but still k on jamb. Hope this is not a problem in camp?
No, Adebayo
It is not a problem.
Good evening sir
Pls i went to Jamb office to correct my date of birth since last 3 years, of which i checked it and it was corrected and now i went and register for NySC and what i saw was exemption letter, now I use the Dob on my wace to correct it’s not reflect what the way fawrd
Hello Tessy,
What date of birth is on your graduation result from your school?
Years ago someone did my registration for both waec and jamb I never knew the date of birth was incorrect(1991) until I collected my original waec, but went for affidavit that was when I gained admission. Last year I went for jamb regularization and I added my real age(1997) same age I used in school. Fast forward… I was giving an exemption, If I should correct my date of birth on waec or jamb cos I never knew it jamb old reg number nysc is using. Will I still go for service in the future?
Yes, you should correct your date of birth on your WAEC and JAMB results. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uses your JAMB date of birth to determine your mobilization status, so if your JAMB date of birth is incorrect, you will not be able to serve.
You can correct your date of birth on your WAEC result by submitting an application to WAEC. You will need to provide your WAEC registration number, your original WAEC certificate, and an affidavit stating that your date of birth is incorrect.
You can correct your date of birth on your JAMB result by submitting an application to JAMB. You will need to provide your JAMB registration number, your original JAMB certificate, and an affidavit stating that your date of birth is incorrect.
Once you have corrected your date of birth on your WAEC and JAMB results, you can apply for NYSC exemption again. If your application is approved, you will not be required to serve in the future.
Pls someone nysc has already send that her exemption letter is being processing , what will be her chance if she do DOB on jamb
Ogoo,
Is there a mistake with your date of birth on the JAMB portal?
I have a question pls.. I registered successfully with correct information but printing the green card i saw that the year I entered school is showing 0 and the year I finished too is also showing 0 but the date of graduation is correct.is this going to be a problem?
If the year you entered school and the year you finished are showing 0 on your NYSC green card, but the date of graduation is correct, it is possible that this is not a problem.
The NYSC (National Youth Service Corps) may have simply not included these fields on your green card. However, it is also possible that there is an error in your green card.
If you are concerned that there is an error in your NYSC green card, you can contact the NYSC to request a replacement card.
I have a question, I used a date of graduation which was displayed on nysc portal as 2021, for registration. But the date of graduation on my statement of result is 2023. Since graduation date must match I don’t know what to do. Will there be room for correction?
Unfortunately, you will not be able to correct the date of graduation once you have reported to the orientation camp. This is because NYSC will not correct the date of graduation once a state code number has been issued.
If you have a discrepancy between the date of graduation on your statement of result and what was uploaded by your institution to the NYSC portal, you should resolve the problem with your Student Affairs Officer (SAO) before reporting to camp. You should not proceed to camp until the correction is effected.
The time to contact your school to resolve such discrepancy is now that online registration is in progress. Once the online registration closes, you will not be able to make any changes to your registration details.

Hello Peter,
NYSC uses the age on your JAMB profile to determine your eligibility for NYSC in terms of your age.
Your only option is to officially reduce your age by swearing an affidavit.
Hi blessing how can I reduce my dob on jamb, and other documents of mine
Jude,
You will have to visit the JAMB CBT centre to apply for a change of your date of birth.
For other documents, visit the court to swear an affidavit for your age.
Hi Blessing
Pls is it possible that the DOB in Jamb profile be different from their DOB on admission letter? Pls which does NYSC uses?
The date of birth on your admission letter.
Both should correspond with the same date.
Hi good evening.
This change of Dob can be done on Nysc website after my school has mobilize me for Nysc?

Hello Taiwo,

Hello sir .
Please , I did jamb Regularisation in 2021 , my jamb profile is showing the correct date of birth
I was exempted form nysc service , I thought I could make use of my neco result to correct it but I later learned that I can only use a WAEC result .
Is there anything I can do to remove the exemption?
Hello Omotola,
Do you mean that the date of birth on your WAEC result is incorrect?
Good day.
I want to know if there is a possible way to change date of birth after NYSC.
Chinenye,
You can swear an affidavit.
Hello, please having printed my green card, I discovered the qualification says BSC instead of BED. I then applied for correction.
Please will it change?
How long will it take?
Will it be a problem in camp, should incase it doesn’t change?
Lastly, will I print out another green card?
Thank you.
Yes, your qualification will be corrected in your NYSC green card. The NYSC usually takes about 2 weeks to process qualification correction requests. However, it may take longer during peak periods, such as the registration period.
If your qualification is not corrected by the time you report to camp, you should bring the original copy of your degree certificate to camp. The NYSC will verify your qualification and make the necessary changes to your green card.
You will not need to print out another green card if your qualification is corrected. The NYSC will update your green card electronically.
In all my documents I have been using 1996 till date but after I was given my Nysc certificate last month, I found it was 1994 . I have never made such mistake in my life before and I think it’s from jamb regularization
Pls what can I do about it ?
Annie,
You will need to get an affidavit to use with the certificate.
Sorry about your experience.
Can I use an affidavit even after registration because both my weac and jamb are having the wrong date of birth which I sworn an affidavit since 20216. And after my registration yesterday being 16/11/2023
I was giving an exception letter. My correct date of birth is 12/08/1994 and the one on my jam and waec is 12/08/1992.
Please what can I do
According to the NYSC official website, affidavits are no longer accepted for correcting date of birth after NYSC registration. The only way to correct your date of birth after registration is to apply for a correction on your dashboard. However, the deadline for applying for a correction has passed, so you will need to contact the NYSC directly to inquire about your options.
I did change of grade level after registration and it hasn’t reflected after 4 days what could be the case and will I still be sent a call up letter?
Segun,
The changes will reflect very soon.
Exercise a little more patience. It can take up to seven (7) days to see changes.
Hi blessing,

Joyce,
It will not be a problem. Worst-case scenario, you will swear an affidavit.

NYSC uses the date of birth on your JAMB portal.
What you need to do is to make the corrections with JAMB.
Hi Blessing
Pls I have a similar issue too, I have applied for correction of DOB with Jamb but nothing yet so pls what is the way forward?
All my documents carries same DOB except my Jamb which has a different DOB
Hello Happiness,

Alright,

Rusayo,
It depends on whether your school senate approved your results when you were above or below 30 years old.
Good day sir, my waec dob is above 30 while my jamb dob is below 30 I have registered waiting for my call up letter will there be any issue during camp registration.
No, Goodluck
Your JAMB DOB would be used for your mobilization.
Pls can 2months older than 30yrs still go for nysc

Tolulope,
Sorry about your experience.
Have you tried changing it on your NYSC portal?
I opted for a change on DOB before registration on jamb portal but still nothing changed even until I made NYSC registration
What’s the effect?
Assuming the DOB on my jamb portal and NYSC portal are the same but it’s not my real age(1 year difference)
What effect does it have in future?
Or can I swear an affidavit?
Florence,
The inconsistency with your date of date will affect you in the future.
When did you make the changes?
Such changes can take over a week to reflect on the JAMB portal.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Good morning
Please,once i click my jamb reg no.it shows my former department but congratulations&my name is also out for the school senate list…Have heard different kinds of solutions but cos of time,what exactly do i need to do???

Richard,
The date of birth on your JAMB profile will be used for your mobilization.
However, you must correct the discrepancies.
I also have same issue ,can I correct the date of birth during registration using my weac via my dashboard
No,
Make the corrections on your JAMB portal.
Good evening,
Please how do I make corrections of date of birth through jamb portal? Instead of 1996 which is my original year of birth in all my certificates I have 1997 in Jamb. What do I need to do?
Sylvia,
Visit the JAMB CBT centre to correct your date of birth.
Good evening,
Instead of 1996 which is my original year of birth in all my certificates I have 1997 in Jamb, the dates are still the same. What do I need to do? Seriously I never noticed this in time until my NYSC registration.
My tertiary institution is quite far, Will it affect me in camp? Because I’m considering swearing an affidavit in the future if need be.
Hello Sylvia,
It will not affect you at the NYSC camp.
Also, swearing an affidavit will work.
I also recommend you make the changes on the JAMB portal.
Good morning sir.
What about a person who covid-19 pandemic and Asuu strike was the reason why their graduation delayed and they reached age 30 at the time of graduation.
There are no special considerations.
Good morning sir.
What about a person who covid-19 pandemic and Asuu strike was the reason why their graduation delayed and they reached age 30 at the time of graduation.
There are no special considerations.
Can i change my DOB on jamb portal for regularization and hope it will reflect during nysc registration,and it won’t affect later
Yes, Damilola
It will not affect you. I am sure the DOB corresponds with other of your certificates.
Good Afternoon, i was mobilized for NYSC in 2017 but i was unable to meet up with camp, i am 30 now & i just want to revalidate, am i still qualify to serve.
Your age calculation is based on when your results were approved by your University’s Senate.
I went to change my dob on jamb it haven’t been change
Pls won’t it affect my nysc
Cos the age is 2yrs older than my real age
Yes,
Your JAMB profile must have your correct date of birth.
Hi, gudevening sir, finished my last exam December 2021because of asuu strike nd I was 30 on October 2021,am i due for service.
Nonso,
Your age will be calculated when your school Senate approves your result.
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.

Good day, My date of birth on my NYSC portal after registration is 1st of January, but my Jamb and WAEC has been 31st January, I am not seeing the Change of DOB link in the portal as well. I have searched and searched, all to no avail. Is this mistake normal?
Hello Collins,
Have you verified the date on your JAMB portal is 1st January?
Please, Can I still change my date of birth through jamb portal after my nysc registration (before camp)…?
Dear Hassan,
You should do it before registration. It will help you have a smooth NYSC registration.
Please, can i still change my DOB through jamb portal after my nysc registrations (before camp)? though i have not made payment yet .
If yes where can i get help?
Yes, Cynthia,
It is possible to change your date of birth (DOB) on the JAMB portal even after NYSC registration, provided you have not completed your NYSC registration and have not made the required payment.
To change your DOB on the JAMB portal, follow these steps:
1. Visit the JAMB eFacility portal at https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/efacility/
2. Login with your JAMB email address and password.
3. Click “Application for Correction of Data” from the list of available services.
4. Select “Change of Date of Birth” from the drop-down menu and click on “Continue.”
5. Follow the instructions to complete the change of DOB process.
6. Print out the confirmation slip for future reference after completing the process.
Also, ensure that the information provided during the change of DOB process is accurate and matches the information on your other documents, including your NYSC registration.
No it doesn’t have to. You’ll just have to use the date of birth on your Jamb for NYSC registration
Am having issue of date of birth on dashboard…,I have the correct one on my waec but wrong on my dashboard….can it still be corrected …..have done the correction but it is not reflecting
Dear Toyin,
I suggest you exercise patience. It should reflect within a week or 2.
But if it doesn’t I recommend you go to the JAMB office to resolve it.
Can I still change my course of study despite me already serving?
James,
Do you mean you want to change your course of study on the JAMB portal?
Is it compulsory that the Dob in my jamb tally with my waec before i can be mobilize for Nysc?
Temmy,
Yes, your JAMB profile’s date of birth is what must be correct for your NYSC mobilization.
The DOB on my JAMB and other documents is 1998
And WAEC is 1996. Will that affect my registration for NYSC? What can I do
What is your correct date of birth?
The DOB on your JAMB will be used for your NYSC registration.
Hi Blessing,
My waec had my real DOB which was 3rd July 1994 while my jamb DOB was 3rd July 1993. I graduated this year 2023 and my school Senate approved result in the month of July but I’m still waiting to receive my statement of result in order to know the date my institution senate approved my result. During this process, I went to jamb office to make a correction of DOB and I was issue indemnity form to submit to my institution which I have done. My question to you is that I have filled up NYSC premobilisation form on my school portal. I don’t know if i should go ahead to my school academic student affairs to put the form on hold until the error on jamb get corrected or can i still be able to correct my DOB on NYSC portal with my waec if i exceeded the age limit for service before result approved my senate.
I understand your confusion. It is important to correct your date of birth on your JAMB and NYSC records as soon as possible. If you exceed the age limit for service before your result is approved by the senate, you will not be able to serve.
I recommend that you contact your school’s academic affairs office to see if they can put a hold on your NYSC pre-mobilization form until the error on your JAMB is corrected. They may also be able to help you get a copy of your statement of result so that you can know the date your institution senate approved your result.
Once the error on your JAMB is corrected, you can then correct your date of birth on your NYSC portal. You will need to provide a copy of your corrected JAMB certificate and your WAEC certificate.
No it doesn’t have to. You’ll just have to use the date of birth on your Jamb for NYSC registration
I have requested for a change of course on my NYSC portal for four days but the change has not reflected on my data, and orientation camp has commenced, what do I do
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.
Pls help. There was a mistake on my Jamb DOB. It appears 22nd march instead of 20th march. The mistake didnt affect the year and the month though. Just the 2days variation. Meanwhile, all other credentials of mine bears my correct DOB. Can I make the changes before or during NYSC registration?
Zuwee,
You can make the corrections now on your JAMB profile.
See how to make the corrections here.
Sir good day
I applied for DOB correction with Waec 5days ago while I received the approval message but up today my dashboard was not change to new moblilsation
Hello Ali,
The changes can take about a week to reflect on the portal.
Let me know if the problem persists.
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?
