Online, physical or both?
Confirm your name is on the approved Senate/Academic Board list
A locally trained graduate should confirm eligibility first, then register on the NYSC portal during the active mobilisation window using the correct matriculation number, functional email, Nigerian GSM number and biometric registration process.
The online registration leads to deployment and camp reporting
NYSC registration itself is online, but mobilisation does not end on the portal. A successfully mobilised prospective corps member receives a call-up number and then reports physically to the orientation camp named in the call-up letter.
Find official offices/centres →Missing from the Senate list? Start with your institution
NYSC says locally trained graduates whose names are not on the approved Senate/Academic Board list cannot register. If your record is missing or incorrect, the institution is the first place to resolve the submission before trying repeated portal registrations.

Can I do this online, or do I need to visit an office?

How much does this service cost?
Portal payment applies to optional/portal services as shown by NYSC.
Pay only through the responsible agency or the official payment channel linked in this guide.
How long should it take?
The responsible agency does not currently publish a reliable fixed completion timeline in the official sources used for this guide.
Processing can still take longer where identity checks, document corrections, payment confirmation or manual review are required.
What happens after I submit or complete the main step?
Look for the call-up number after successful registration: NYSC states that successful registration originates a call-up number. Keep checking the dashboard rather than treating completion of the form as final deployment.
