If you have completed your National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program in Nigeria, you may be wondering how to identify and verify your NYSC certificate number.
This is important because your certificate number is a unique identifier that proves your participation and completion of the mandatory one-year service.
In this blog post, we will explain how to find your certificate number, how to verify it online, and what to do if you encounter any problems.
How to find your NYSC certificate number
Your NYSC certificate number is located at the top right corner of your certificate of national service. It is a 12-digit number that starts with the letters “NYSC” followed by four digits for the year of service, two digits for the state code, and four digits for the serial number.
For example, if your certificate number is NYSC/2024/AB/1234, it means you served in 2024, in Abia state, and you were the 1234th person to receive the certificate in that state.
