Below is a detailed breakdown of the approved procedure:

▪ Obtain WAEC Verification Pin: Begin by acquiring a 19 or 20-digit WAEC Verification Pin. This can be obtained from any branch of First Bank or through authorized outlets.

▪ Registration and Dashboard Access: After securing your pin, complete the NYSC registration process. Once your registration is submitted, log into your NYSC dashboard to access further options.

 - WAEC Type: Choose the type of WAEC examination you participated in (e.g., WASSCE).
 - Year of Exam: Specify the year you completed the examination.
 - Examination Number: Key in your WAEC examination number.

▪ Verification and Finalization:
 - Click on Verify Button: This step checks your entered data against WAEC’s records for accuracy.

This initiative by the NYSC is part of an ongoing effort to reduce administrative errors and ensure that all corps members have accurate personal information on their service records.

It is important for prospective corps members to follow this process before camp registration, as any last-minute corrections can lead to complications during service.
