Clarifications On NYSC Date Of Birth Usage And Age

Clarifications On NYSC Date Of Birth Usage And Age: NYSC will never initially need to use the date of birth written on your WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB to mobilize you for the service. In the same vein, the corps won’t use the date of birth that will be sent by your school, for the senate list, especially if it differs from what they truly want.

You ask me what date of birth will NYSC use then? What date of birth does NYSC want?

The corps originally uses JAMB dates of birth of all prospective corp members for the purpose of mobilization. Yes, NYSC collects a few data from JAMB, through the JAMB registration number used while filling your mobilization form online. Among these data is the date of birth.

Whereas, this JAMB date of birth you will meet on the NYSC portal/dashboard will not be made editable. You won’t be able to change or manipulate it to your goal.

And if you compare this date of birth with the one on your JAMB result or JAMB regularization slip, it should be the same.

It doesn’t matter if the date of birth tallies with the one on WAEC or school documents. If those are different the corp only deals with the JAMB’s.

This is why candidates who aim to serve should be mindful of their dates of birth. In fact, most candidates use regularization to correct/manipulate their possible over-age at the ends of their studies.

Where There is Conflict that Needs Correction, NYSC Will Accept WAEC Date of Birth in Place of JAMB’s

I’ve established that NYSC only used the date of birth on your JAMB result or regularization in order to mobilize you. However, if there was a mistake on the JAMB date of birth or regularization date of birth and you wish to make use of the one on your WAEC result, NYSC is ready to accept that in place.

This is possible and that’s the only alternative to using the default JAMB date of birth.
In other words, you can correct the JAMB date of birth mistakes by replacing them with the one on your WAEC result.

Of course, this may not be working for candidates with NECO and NABTEB results. I’m, for now, more convinced that this method works well and is officially acceptable for candidates using WAEC or WAEC GCE results.

Luckily, it doesn’t matter if that result was the one you used for your admission or not. What matters is that the result must belong to you and should have the dates of birth you want.

Procedures to Replace JAMB Date of Birth with that of WAEC

Buy WAEC Verification card. You can get this card for about N2,000 at any WAEC office nationwide or any cafe or online outlet at a price a bit higher (N2,500 to N3,000.)
Now, login to your NYSC portal and locate the link/button for “Change D.O.B (WAEC)”.
A window will pop up. Enter the WAEC verification PIN you’d got earlier, the WAEC Registration Number, and the year of the exam. Then, submit.

After your submission, you will have to wait a few hours (24 hours or more) to see the date of the birth changed.

During the period, NYSC will use your PIN to fetch the date of birth from WAEC’s database and replace the one with them by the WAEC’s.

NOTE

The Change D.O.B option will only be made available after completing NYSC registration and not after the whole registration has closed for the stream.

If you’re noted for exemption certificate because the date of birth on your JAMB has exceeded 30, but the date of birth on your WAEC is lesser and right for NYSC mobilization, using this method, if approved, will change your status from the exemption to call-up letters. Hence, you will be posted after the right date of birth is fetched by the corps from WAEC’s portal
