Here’s a guide on how to make corrections to both your Date of Birth and Course of Study in the NYSC portal.

Correcting Your Date of Birth:

In the past, correcting your date of birth on the NYSC platform was a complex process. But starting with the 2017 Batch ‘A’ online registration, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) now plays a key role in verifying and updating your date of birth on the portal.

Steps to Correct Your NYSC Date of Birth:

1. Log in to Your NYSC Dashboard:
   • Visit the official NYSC portal and log in using your credentials.
2. Click on the Date of Birth Link:
   • Once logged in, navigate to the section where your personal details are displayed. Click on the link to correct your Date of Birth.
3. Enter Your WAEC Verification PIN:
   • You’ll be prompted to enter your WAEC Verification PIN. This PIN is issued by WAEC and is required for verification.
4. Select Your WAEC Information:
   • Choose your WAEC exam type (e.g., May/June), the year of your examination, and your WAEC examination number.
5. Click ‘Verify’:
   • After entering the required details, click the Verify button to confirm that your WAEC records align with the details on the NYSC portal.
6. Submit or Cancel:
   • If everything looks good and matches, click Submit to finalize the correction. If you want to make any adjustments, you can click Cancel.

That’s it! Your date of birth will be updated on the NYSC portal following verification by WAEC.

Correcting your date of birth on the NYSC portal has never been easier. Thanks to the collaboration with WAEC for date of birth verification, you can now ensure your records are accurate. Always remember to check your details carefully before submitting corrections to avoid any future complications.
