If you have successfully registered for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), one of the most important things you need next is your NYSC call up number.
This number is not just for record purposes, it is your official NYSC identity throughout camp, service year, and even when collecting your discharge certificate.
Many prospective corps members panic when they don’t see their call-up number immediately after registration. The good news is that NYSC has made it very easy to check your call-up number online without visiting any cyber café or NYSC office.
This guide will walk you through simple, accurate and stress-free ways to find your NYSC call-up number online.
What Is an NYSC Call Up Number?
Your NYSC call up number is a unique number assigned to every prospective corps member (PCM) after NYSC completes mobilization. It appears on your:
- Call-up letter
- NYSC portal profile
- Camp registration documents
- Certificate of National Service
Once issued, your call-up number stays with you permanently for all NYSC activities.
When Is NYSC Call-Up Number Released?
NYSC releases call-up numbers after successful mobilization, usually when:
- Call-up letters are uploaded
- Orientation camp details are ready
- The NYSC portal changes status from “Registration” to “Print Call-Up Letter”
This normally happens a few days or weeks after registration closes.
