The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has commenced the physical verification of credentials and travel documents for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates who registered for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Service Year.

In a statement released via its official X handle on Sunday, the NYSC said the verification exercise will run from Monday, November 10, to Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at designated centres across the country.

The scheme explained that the exercise is for Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) whose documents have not yet undergone physical verification after completing online registration.

According to the statement, verification centres include the NYSC Secretariat, 2 Abakaliki Road, GRA, Enugu; Shadawanka Military Barracks, Bauchi; NYSC Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja; Bukavu Military Barracks, Fagge, Airport Road, Kano; NYSC Orientation Camp, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos; NYSC Secretariat, New Ikirun Road, Osogbo; NYSC Secretariat, 40 Ikwerre Road, Port Harcourt; Eagle Officers Mess, Gingiya Military Barracks, Gusau Road, Sokoto; and NYSC Secretariat, Federal Secretariat Complex, Yola.

“As part of the measures to ensure orderliness and avoid overcrowding, Prospective Corps Members are expected to strictly report on the date, time, and venue specified on the verification slip,” the NYSC stated.

The Corps directed all participants to present the original copies of their credentials and travel documents uploaded during online registration.

For medical graduates, the NYSC added that “Licenses, Registration Certificates, and other relevant documents issued by their various professional bodies should also be uploaded and presented in original form at the verification centres.”

The agency further clarified that foreign-trained graduates requiring official recognition must submit “original copies of Evaluation Letters issued by the Federal Ministry of Education (where applicable)” to the NYSC Headquarters, Abuja, and upload acknowledged copies online.

Emphasising the importance of the exercise, the NYSC warned that “only persons physically seen with credentials, verified, and cleared would be deployed, exempted, or excluded from National Service.”

The Corps urged all affected foreign-trained graduates to comply strictly with the guidelines and appear at their designated centres as scheduled.
