Difference Between NYSC Green Card and NYSC Call-Up Letter

If you are a prospective corps member (PCM) preparing for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, you might be wondering what is the difference between the NYSC Green Card and the NYSC Call-Up Letter.

These are two important documents that you will need during your online registration, orientation camp, and service year.

In this blog post, we will explain the difference between them and how to get them.

What is NYSC Green Card?

The NYSC Green Card is an online registration slip that shows your personal data and kit specifications. It is not actually green in color, but it is called “green” because of its importance. The NYSC Green Card is one of the compulsory requirements for NYSC orientation camping. Therefore, after printing the Green Card, make sure to bring it to the orientation camp along with other necessary documents.

The NYSC Green Card contains the following information:

• NYSC logo and letter heading
• Batch and year of service
• Call-up number
• Personal data (name, date of birth, state of origin, etc.)
• Contact information (address, phone number, etc.)
• Next of kin details (name, contact number, address, etc.)
• Education qualification (grade, institution, year of graduation, course of study, etc.)
• Kit specification details (size of NYSC uniform and other items)

You can print your NYSC Green Card after completing your online registration on the NYSC portal.

• The Green Card contains more information than the Call-Up Letter, such as your next of kin details and kit specifications.
