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.
