The NYSC Name discrepancy refers to a situation where the name you have on your NYSC dashboard or on a document or in an application does not match the name on other official documents, such as your statement of result or your school certificate.
Basically, what NYSC want from you is that your name on the NYSC dashboard must be exactly the same as it is on your statement of result/Certificate. If this is not the same, NYSC regards that as a discrepancy.
In this post, I will explain more about the NYSC Name discrepancy and also give you tips on how to fix this error if you are affected. Whatever question brought you here will get the best answer if you read this post to the end. Name discrepancy is a big issue in NYSC and you have to fix it because the consequence might not be friendly. [READ ALSO: How To Login To Your NYSC Dashboard – A Step-by-Step Guide]
NYSC Name Discrepancy
For NYSC, once your name on your dashboard is not exactly the same as what is on your statement of result or your school certificate, that is a name discrepancy. NYSC want your name to be the same arrangement, the same spelling, the same letter and totally identical to what is on your statement of result.
This name discrepancy error might be from different sources. It might be a result of an error from Jamb or your higher institution. It might also be a result of putting the first name before the surname or vice vasa. [READ ALSO: Why Is My Name Not On Graduation List – SOLVED!]
What you should just know is that, once your name on NYSC dashboard and your name on your statement of result are not exactly the same, NYSC will treat that as a name discrepancy.
Some institutions also always make this mistake when compiling the senate list. So there are various ways this error can occur.
This issue of name discrepancy is really a big thing in the National Youths service corps programme. If there is any error in your name and you did not fix it before the Orientation camp, you will not be able to register in camp.
This would mean that you will be forced to leave camp and wait for the next stream or next batch which might not be friendly at all. [READ ALSO: Top 10 Reasons Why Serving In The Village Is Awesome]
Various Name Discrepancy In NYSC
There are several ways that this error can occur and I will give you various samples below. You should know that what NYSC really want is that your name on the NYSC dashboard must exactly be the same as the one on your statement of result. I have been stressing this in this post and the reason is that it is very important to NYSC.
Below are various examples of NYSC name discrepancies.
The original Name is Lola Bold Princess. Lola Princess Bold, Bold Princess Lola, Lalo Bold Princess, Lola Blode Princess and others will be errors. As long as it’s not the same as it is in your statement of result, it’s an error in NYSC and you need to fix it.
How To fix Name Discrepancy
If you have a name discrepancy issue, you have to fix it before you can partake in NYSC. For a long time, name discrepancy was not a thing with NYSC. However, it’s a big deal nowadays and if you don’t fix it, the management will send you out of the Orientation camp.
To fix any name discrepancy, apply for Name correction or name Re-arrangement on the NYSC Portal and also inform your institution. In most cases, you don’t need to inform your school. Just apply for it on your dashboard and in a few days, it will take effect.
The management always makes provisions for corrections right on your dashboard. If you notice any disparity in your name, you should check your dashboard before the release of the call-up letter and you will see a link to apply for correction.
There is a very important NYSC official update on correcting Name discrepancies. Read below:
“Addition or Removal of names will no longer be allowed on the NYSC portal. Only Name at Matriculation is allowed for upload on NYSC portal by Corps Producing Institutions.
However, correction of simple spelling mistakes and names re-arrangement are still allowed. This is for your information.”
It is clear that in NYSC, you need to take immediate steps to resolve the discrepancies in your name before the release of the call-up letter. Until you do this, you will experience difficulties in camp registration and the officials will ask you to leave the Orientation camp.
You can check below for popular questions and answers.
How Do I Correct My Name On NYSC?
All you have to do is just apply for the correction on your NYSC dashboard and within a few days, you will see the Update.
After NYSC Registration, the link to apply for Correction of your name will appear on your dashboard. You should note that you can only correct spelling errors or rearrangement of names.
You can’t add names or remove names from the NYSC dashboard.
What Is Name Discrepancy In NYSC?
If your name on your NYSC dashboard is not exactly the same as what is on your school certificate or statement of result, that is a Name discrepancy.
NYSC want the name on the two documents to be in the same arrangement and spelling. Anything other than that is a name discrepancy.
Does Name Affect NYSC?
Yes, the name does affect NYSC. In fact, if you have a name discrepancy issue, you will not be able to register in camp.
So if you have name disparity or there is an error in your name, kindly apply for Correction before the call-up letter will be out.
Can I Correct My Name Twice On NYSC Portal?
Yes, you can. Just know that it might be possible in one stream. Let’s say you apply for Name correction on your dashboard and then when your dashboard is updated, you realize that there is a mistake again.
Off course, you can apply again but the issue is that it might not be the same stream. The NYSC name correction always takes a few days to process. Most of the time, the correction will take effect about a day or 2 days to the release of the call-up letter.
However, once the NYSC call-up letter is out, you will not be able to apply for the name correction again. So I will advise if you have an NYSC name discrepancy, pay attention and correct it once and for all.
How Do You Handle Discrepancies With Names?
The best way to handle NYSC name discrepancy is to apply for Correction and fix it. Once you discover the error, take action and fix it immediately.
How Do I Get An Affidavit Of Name Discrepancy?
You can get an affidavit at any court close to you. You will go to the admin area and ask for an affidavit. They should give you more information and other things you need.
If you have any other questions, kindly use the comment box below. Thank you for reading. Please share because sharing is caring.
Good evening sir please I need to get some this clear
My name in all my ducment is Agada Mary M,but when my statement of result was release or was just Agada Mary,and the one on my nysc dashboard was Agada Mary too,so when I went for nysc online registration after the registration I did correction of name and entered Agada Mary M,and I went to my school to add the M the remove from my statement of result but the told me the don’t abrivat so the only way the can help is to enter my full name which is Agada Mary Mofu.
So on my dashboard is Agada Mary M
Statement is Agada Mary Mofu will I be registered in camp?
Your name has to be exactly the same. They will not register you in camp. NYSC management want the name to be exactly thesame.
Please I requested for a change of name on my nysc portal and it is still misarranged and I cannot find the link for correction of name what should I do?
That means the one you applied for has been corrected
1. My sister has four names, the four names are on her bvn and nin.
But in school she used only the first three, and did not correctly arrange them.
How does she correct this please.
Na NIN and Jamb name concern NYSC
Please I already did rearrangement of name and now I find out that it’s not the same on my statement of result my results is Ogaegbe Stephen Rita and the name I changed on my dashboard is Stephen Rita Ogaegbe and I can’t find the site again on my dashboard
You can’t do it twice. Next batch
Hi lola pls i have Bamiyowa Racheal on jamb and its has been submitted to senate list like that from my sch.my hnd certificate carry this 2 names as well while every other certificate and document has my complete 3 names as Bamiyowa Racheal Abosede including Nin pls wat can i do to avoild issues in camp
Go to NIN office and apply for change to what is on your Jamb. That’s the official statement.
Good evening…I had name misarrangement and spelling error on my jamb profile the error was during regularisation…so can I also apply for correction of names on my nysc dashboard after registering for NYSC?? And when filling the mobilitsation form, should I fill it correctly or I should fill it the way it is in the jamb admission letter…my real name Is Daramola Esther Folashade but on my admission letter it is written as Daramola Folasahde Esther
Will this in anyway affect my mobilisation
Once the NYSC registration portal opens, you will input your JAMB registration no and it will display your profile. NYSC is extracting your details from JAMB.
So since the error is from JAMB, it will appear on your dashboard. The good news is that, you will be able to apply for Correction after the online registration.
NYSC will give you the ability to rearrange it and correct any spelling errors. But you will not be able to add more names o. You will only be able to correct spellings and rearrange.
If you want to fill it in the mobilization in your school, what you fill doesn’t matter because you will still be able to make corrections after the online registration.
Please I want to know I register jamb with 3 names and my statement of result is 2 names I have a court affidavit and news paper publication on this issue will I be registered in camp
The name on your certificate and the one on NYSC dashboard is what must exactly be thesame. After NYSC registration, if the name is not as it is on your certificate, you will have a chance to apply for Correction.
Does Nysc use the name I use when registering jamb or the name I use in school
From Jamb. But you will have the option to correct it later.
Good day ma, my problem is the name on my others documents is correct which is SALEH BARKA but the one school sent to NYSC portal is SALEH BARAKA can i be able to register in camp?
Your name on your school certificate must be thesame with the one on ur nysc portal
The name on NYSC dashboard is it from JAMB or is it from my institution?
Jamb
The name on my Jamb is AUDU EZEKIEL OSIRE and also in my OND result too.
But in my HND, it is only AUDU EZEKIEL.
Will I be able to register for the NYSC and successful clearance?
If your name is wrong, after registration, you will be able to correct it
I have two names in jamb and three names in every other documents, will I be able to register in camp?
the answer is in the content
Good evening. Please I need a little clarification on an issue I have.
My name is Umeh Mary Obianujunwa on every document I have, including my statement of result.
My name on my JAMB admission letter and profile is Umeh Obianujunwa Mary.
Please is JAMB admission letter part of the documents that would be required of me during registration in camp and will the discrepancy in my JAMB admission letter make them send me away?
Your name on NYSC dashboard and your name on certificate is what matters
Goodmorning, my name on my certificate carries hyphen but the one on my jamb doesn’t carry hyphen, will that make my name not to be on the Senate list
after registration, apply for correction
Good afternoon, Lola.
I wanted to ask that can I hyphenate my name after NYSC registration? My first name is hyphenated on my NIN and statement of result and all other documents, but it isn’t on the Senate list. Amen I safe?
Yes, you will be able to do it after registration
Hi, Lola. Thank you for the information. I have a question though.
On the senate list, my name is Olu-young Sharon Oluwaseun, same as all other documents, jamb, Nin and NYSC portal. But my name on the Statment of Result is Olu-young Sharon Boluwatife. I have been trying to change this Boluwatife to Oluwaseun for a while now, and it’s taking so much time. I’ve registered for my NYSC and is currently waiting for my call-up letter. I have a sworn affidavit that I’m the same person. Can I still get registered since I have the affidavit? What do I do?
Affidavit will not work. You have to apply for correction on your dashboard to match the one on your certificate.
Good evening please I made a mistake on my Neco registration name like the name on my jamb portal and every details is Abdulrasaq Abdulafeez Olohunde while on my Neco results is Abdulrasaq Afeez Olohunde… Does it affect me when doing NYSC screening if so is there any solution to it?
Please I need an advise on what to do.
I am a married woman with two names as Momoh Rita as in my school documents, I have changed to my husband’s name as Oghenaogie Rita Odufua, I did all the necessary documents for changing of names before applying for NYSC online registration.
But NYSC portal is showing. Oghenaogie Rita
And the middle name omitted
And as my new name I want it to be three names so I won’t be having inconsistencies of names
Please what do I do?
Don’t worry. Just go to camp with all required documents.
Sir my olevel carries three names Akinjo ireti Sarah but in my ND it was just Akinjo Ireti while my HND was Akinjo ireti Hannah I went back to school to add the last name but they said is too late that it can’t be added anymore I don’t know if I can back the ND result up with Newspaper publication
Please will they request for ND certificate in camp
What happen is that the name on my ND certificate is Dayo while the one on my HND is Adedayo. And I was told that I can back the ND certificate up with affidavit.
The name on ur certificate and the name on NYSC must be thesame.
Please will they request for ND certificate in camp???
I believe you know the official requirements. That’s what you should to camp with.

Good Evening
My name on Jamb was Ikhouriah Rasheed
So I had Ikhouriah Rasheed Babatunde on my school portal.
So I had to remove the Babatunde from the school portal to correlate with that of Jamb, this was after the statement of result was out, which had Ikhouriah Rasheed Babatunde on it
Would I still be allowed in Camp??
Your name on your school certificate and your name on NYSC Dashboard is what matters to NYSC.
I applied for a correction of my surname spelling but it was disapproved, please what can I do?
Why was it disapproved.
Please When Nysc certificate is printed, is it the name on the dashboard that will be used or the one sent from jamb/school.
The one on your dashboard nah
My first name came before my first name on Senate list,so I applied for name rearrangement during registration,but it was disapproved,don’t really know why,secondly,I registered as a married woman and uploaded all the necessary documents ,my name in my documents is ushoroma eloho,while my husband’s name is enuabanusa,but the name in my dash board is enuabanusa ushoroma,eloho which is my first name isn’t included,what should I do,am just confused

Hello and thank you. What’s the process for addition of name on the NYSC portal? You didn’t say the solution for that since it can’t be done on the portal anymore
You can’t add names. You can only correct errors and rearrange

Please am confused.
The correction will take effect by next batch.
Okay, which means I would be allowed to change it again by next batch.

Visit any close by nysc secretariat

Whatever you have on Jamb is what your portal will bring. And if it’s wrong, after online registration, you will be able to apply for Correction.
Please I have a question. I applied for Jamb correction of name Around July, 2023. Reason is because my middle name was Misspelled. Was supposed to be ‘Juliet’ not ‘Juilet’. I’ve done the required things, even submitted the indemnity form jamb gave me to my school but it hasn’t been rectified yet and I don’t know the reason. I want to know if I can proceed for NYSC registration or should I wait until it’s corrected?
After NYSC registration, you will still be able to apply for Correction.
Please I have a question. I did jamb correction of name sometime last two months, reason is my middle name was misspelled. I’ve done all the processes including submission of indemnity form to my institution but the correction is yet to be effected. Please I want to know if I can go ahead with my NYSC mobilization, can the corrections be made during NYSC registration?
Wait for nysc mobilization. After your online registration, you will be able to apply for Correction of your name right on the NYSC dashboard.
Good evening ma’am, lease I am married and I did magazine change of name, from Ngozi ogechi nwachukwu to blessing ogechi chukwurah. I want to know if it will affect me while doing nysc registration. As in will the blessing be accepted. Will I be allowed to do registration
If you are married, you have nothing to worry about. Just get all the required documents during your registration and upload them
What is on my statement of result is Ngozi ogechi nwachukwu so I want to change it to blessing ogechi chukwurah. If yes I can, while registering what will I use to register is it my old names Ngozi ogechi nwachukwu then submit my document of marriage online or I will use my new names blessing ogechi chukwurah and then submit the documents online
NYSC will carry your details from JAMB. After registration, you will see an option to apply for Correction. But you can only re arrange or correct spellings. You can’t add a new name.
NYSC want the name on your certificate to be thesame as the name on your dashboard.
Please my issue is name difference in Statement of Result and NYSC portal.
The name on my statement of result is Ibraheem Abdulmuhaymeen Opeyemi
While the name on my NYSC portal is Ibraheem Abdulmuhaymeen.
I was misled by the cafe I registered that corrections of name can be done not knowing adding of name is not possible again,
I registered with batch B stream 2 but I couldn’t go to orientation camp because of the discrepancy, I applied for change of name on the NYSC portal but it was disapproved.
I already contacted the Student Affairs division and the already updated the Senate list from their end but the changes is not reflecting on the nysc portal since I registered.
Please any advise on what to do? Am really confused
God bless and Best regards
I will advice you to disturb your school very well. They will be able to fix it.
Pls the issue is that my name order in my waec certificate is different from my statement of result. I.e my name in waec is Okonkwo Oluchi Divine and in my statement of result it is Okonkwo Divine Oluchi. Pls will it affect me in nysc because I want to apply in dis coming batch
Your name on your certificate or statement of result and your name on NYSC dashboard is what matters to NYSC.
Hello Lola,
My own issue is that the name on my Jamb is NEHEMIAH JONATHAN EMMANUEL (this name matches with all my credentials including WAEC and so on) while the name on my NYSC portal is NEHEMIAH EMMANUEL JONATHAN (the same with school statement of result). How do I change the name to match the JAMB own.
As long as your name oN NYSC match that of your certificate, that is what NYSC want.
Good day,
Please my school omitted my third name while uploading on senate list and i have been pushing for it to be added and they insist i go to camp that way, that it’s not a problem since my statement of result carries my 3 names. Please how do i add it on my own.
Your statement of result and ur nysc dashboard must be exactly thesame name. Wait till registration starts. Nysc will pick ur details from Jamb. Even if its wrong after registration, u will be able to apply for Correction
Evening Lola, pls my jamb details r Stephen Jacob U, on my statement of result is Jacob Utenwojo Stephen, pls is there any problem during Nysc registration?
Apply for Correction after the online registration
Morning, pls where and how will I correct this, but I’m sure the name that will be sent from my school to Nysc portal will be the same on my statement of result but I don’t knw if that on jamb carrying the abbreviated name ‘U’ instead of Utenwojo on my statement will be an issue
Wait for registration. After the online registration, you will be able to change it definitely
Afternoon Lola, I’m sure the names on my statement of result which is my complete names Jacob Utenwojo Stephen is what my school senate will send to Nysc portal but i don’t knw if the jamb names which the middle name is abbreviated as ‘U’ will be an issue?
Whatever name they send, you will be able to correct it after the online registration.
Morning dear, pls after online registration and u r not able to make a change of names on jamb, will that in anyway affect me going to camp.?
Your name on NYSC and certificate have to be thesame.
Good evening pls with the new NIN development my name on NIN are 3 while on the school portal are 2 names and I can’t register pls what should I do?
Have you been able to fix this?
Good evening ma’am.
My name is Patience Thlama Zamdai, I have a very challenging situation that I need clarification and help.
1. I use two NECO results, one has three names PATIENCE THALMA ZAMDAI while the other has two names PATIENCE ZAMDAI
2. My also reflects same name PATIENCE THALMA ZAMDAI which is wrong spelt, I mean the middle name. The correct one should be PATIENCE THLAMA ZAMDAI
3. My admission letter has my correct names but it’s wrongly arranged ZAMDAI PATIENCE THLAMA
It should be PATIENCE THLAMA ZAMDAI
Please ma, how can I resolve this? I’m worried and confused.
After the NYSC registration, whatever name is on your dashboard, you will have the ability to correct it. You don’t have to worry. After registration, you will get the option to apply correction.
Please Lola, what of my other NECO reflecting two names and the other three names, because I used two
There is nothing that concerns NYSC with NECO. NYSC will get your details from Jamb and not NECO. Forget about NECO dearie. It has nothing to do with name on NYSC.
Good day, I wrote jamb with a Christian name but after jamb I did change of name to Muslim name with affidavit and newspaper publication and started using new name when I hot admission into university. My result carry the muslim name, will school upload the one on Jamb? And what possible correction can I do please?
Whatever name ur school upload, you will be able to correct it after the online registration.
I am done with the online registration. I applied for corrections of spelling and it was disapproved few minutes I requested for it but there is no way for me to re apply again
Why disapproved. I will advice u visit any close by NYSC secretariat
Hello Lola, thank you for what you’re doing. Please my issue is that all my credentials are correct. I use 3 names including my HDN Statement of Result and Jamb but only two names were used on my ND statement Result which was a long time ago. My questions are
1. Will the name disparity on ND Result become an issue in camp even though all other results like HND is correct? Because my school said it’s too late to change ND Result.
2. Does NYSC accept Statement of Result for ND too or it must he original
You know the answer to the second question. You know the result that the management needs. That’s what you should take to camp.
Your first question. NYSC don’t care about your other document. What they care about is ur name on your certificate and your name on the NYSC dashboard. They have to be thesame. If after registration, your name is not exactly thesame, you can apply for Correction or inform your school.
Good evening maa , please the name on my weac result is Mba Ukamaka promise and i did affidavit on Date of birth with the same name , but my jamb , certificate and my documents in university Carries Mbah Ukamaka promise.. please is it going to affect me when i go to camp??
Your name on your certificate have to be exactly thesame as it is on your NYSC dashboard. If its now, you can apply for Correction after the online registration.
Good morning please my school made a mistake in uploading of my name, My name is Adeye Esther Blessing but they uploaded Adeye Esther Blesing. A letter was missing from the Blessing, please if i want to register and it shows my correct as extracted from the jamb, do i still need to apply for correction of name because of what my school uploaded or i should just leave it if what is on my dashboard is my correct name after registration
Your name on dashboard must be exactly be as it is on your certificate.
My name initially is Shuaibu Ralia , I’m married now and change my name to Shuaibu Ralia Abdulwahab but on my green card only Abdulwahab Ralia was there, I applied for correction and while doing it the guy made a mistake and Did Shuaibu Abdulwahab Ralia . Please what can I do?
Why is the cafe guy always making mistake for you all. Inform your school
I made rearrangement of my names after registration and after that i noticed it doesn’t match the one on my certificate again….pls can i still make correction on portal again before the release of call up letter?
Try it
Good evening ma’m
Pls my name was misspelled as isola instead of ishola and wasn’t arranged properly..it was arranged as Omowunmi rukayat ishola instead of ishola rukayat Omowunmi so I already corrected the ishola but I was unable to rearrange the names..pls how do I go about it ma
You should have arranged and corrected it all at once. Inform your school
Please is it possible to correct of name arrangement twice on Nysc..cos the cafe made a mistake of using the name on my other document..I just want to arrange it back to how it was
Try it. Let’s hope it works but if it didn’t work, then that’s the consequence of your mistake.
Good morning,
The name on my Neco statement of result is Comfort Ekanem Akpan but I did change of name to Comfort Cornelius Abang. All my documents is carrying Comfort Cornelius Abang.
I have done affidavit and news paper publication. Please I want to know if I can use the names for the NYSC registration.
Register and take your documents to camp
Good day Miss Lola.
I have a problem that just got to my notice today.
The fault came from the person filling my JAMB information, because I made a photocopy of the form I submitted to them.
My day of birth should be 22nd but he made a mistake and used 23rd instead. That is what is appearing on my green card details. I don’t really know what to do.
I heard that date of birth and other details will be on our NYSC certificate and this will cause contradiction with my other documents reflecting 22nd.
Pls what can I do?
Apply for Correction of DOB
Thank you Miss Lola,
But the requirements for correction of DOB is with WAEC result and I don’t have that.
Is there any other option?
Can I do the correction in the camp?
Even if its NECO, you will still use waec verification pin. Or you can visit any close by NYSC secretariat
Good evening.please I applied for name correction and it wasn’t approved and Its not showing where I can re-apply
Contact your school.
Good evening Lola. I want to rearrange my name placement on the nysc portal for the second time but after the first time I did it, the link disappeared and was replaced by the first time success status. What do I do now?
U can only do it once
School promises to write a letter on my behalf for removal of name from my portal on NYSC. Please do you think they will accept that or approve it?
Yes, they will accept it
Good morning sir , I’m married, I now mistakenly write my former surname instead of my new surname which is my husband’s own during registration
I have applied for the change of name on my dashboard but I don’t know if it will changed
wait for it.
School have submitted the letter since Wednesday to headquarter but I haven’t see any changes on my portal. I am so worried about it
No specific duration. All you have to do is just wait for it.
you will see it.
I didn’t see it and call up letter is out 😩😭😭
Good evening lola
God bless you for all you do.
My issue is my name on jamb was written as AREMU OLAMIDE MUHEENAH and it was written OLAMIDE MUHEENAH AREMU on my statement of result so if my school certificate comes out,the name on it will be AREMU OLAMIDE MUHEENAH which is the same as my jamb . So I registered for NYSC yesterday and it was AREMU MUHEENAH OLAMIDE that was written on my dashboard
I requested for rearrangement of name already. Do you think it will be approved and it takes how many days to rectify it ?
no specific duration. Since you have applied, just wait for it. It will be treated.
Please have yours be rectified?
My surname is ADENIJI but it was written as ADENIYI on the senate list,can I apply for the correction of name on the dashboard
yes
Hey ma can I still apply for name rearrangement after the one i did was approved but is not correct
No o. You can only apply once. Except it’s next batch.
Good evening Lola. Thanks a lot for the information you are sharing here. God bless you.
Here is my own issue;
The middle name on my Statement of Result is abbreviated e.g. Adeniyi Joseph O. but the name I am using for NYSC registration on the NYSC portal is my full name as in Adeniyi Joseph Olumide.
The abbreviation error occured during my JAMB registration of which I had no enlightenment on the consequences it would have later.
So, I have informed my School senate that my full name is Adeniyi Joseph Olumide.
Also, I have sworn an affidavit that I am the bearer of the two names (Adeniyi Joseph O and Adeniyi Joseph Olumide.)
I have visited JAMB office to apply for correction of name but I was told it would take some time before effect.
My question is, would the affidavit and statement of result be accepted during registration on NYSC camp ground just to verify that the name I registered with online and the name on my Statement of Result are the same. If no, please can you tell me what to do?
If they accept it, you are lucky. If they don’t accept it, you have to make sure both names are thesame. Inform your school about it.
Did they collect an affidavit from you at camp??
Good afternoon my question is that I have two names on my jamb profile which means the middle name is not on my jamb profile and in my school certificate i have three name my middle name is on my school certificate, will it be accepted for nysc
After registration, correct it to match with what is on your certificate
Hi dear. The arrangements of my name in my jamb portal is different from my certificate, can I also rearrange it on nysc Portal
The name on ur certificate and the one on NYSC portal must be thesame. If the one on ur NYSC Dashboard is not thesame, you will be bale to rearrange it after online registration
Good morning Ma, Thanks so much for this information. I applied for correction of name and it was approved, but I couldn’t go to camp for that batch want to change it again because it’s still misspelt. Please during revalidation, will I still be able to change it? Because for now it’s the approved status that is showing. The link to apply for change of names isn’t there currently.
You will be able to apply again
I tried correcting my name, but it’s not approved already and the link to apply for change of name isn’t there now. Will I still be able to change it again with next batch or stream or it’s permanent and can’t be changed again?
Yes. The link will be available once next batch registration portal is open.
My name on jamb is bamisile omolara
My name on certificate is bamisile omolara oluwakemi
Will there be any issue pls
Your name on certificate and dashboard is what matters
All my certificates has 3 names, only my statement of results and that of nysc portal carries 2 names. Is there an issue?
Apply for correction on your dashboard. They must be exactly thesame
I have two names in jamb and three names in every other documents, will I be able to register in camp?
after registration, apply for correction to match what you have on your certificate. You will need to inform your school if you are adding a new name
Good evening ma,I found out my name in school was wrongly spelt. Instead of Dada OLUWATOMISIN Teslimat, it was Dada TOMISIN Teslimat. I applied for change of name in school and it was corrected but they’ve already sent the wrong one (Dada TOMISIN Teslimat) to NYSC Senate list. I was told I can edit and put the OLUWA when I register and today,I tried to register but it didn’t work because my name on the list is TOMISIN and the name on my NIN is OLUWATOMISIN. I don’t know what to do,please help me
Your name on certificate and name on NYSC Dashboard is what matters. There will be a link to correct ur name on dashboard to match the one on your certificate
To access the dashboard is the issue now,the new introduction of NIN is giving me problems and I’m unable to register because the names are not EXACTLY the same. When I tried to create an account,it said ACCOUNT CREATION FAILED,ENSURE THE NIN IS ACCURATE AND THE NAMES PROVIDED MATCH THE NAMES ON NIMC. The name on the Senate list that automatically come out is not the same on my NIN
The issue of NIN is new and we expect some issues. Go to a close by NYSC secretariat
Good afternoon please how long does it take for the correction of misspelt name to take place, I did mine since Tuesday on the dashboard and it’s not still updated yet up till now and some people that said they did theirs on Wednesday theirs has been updated already
No specific duration but after NYSC confirms and do the necessary inspection, it will take effect.
Hello
For this NIN issue is it the name on senate list they compare with the NIN or the name on jamb?
Jamb
Hi Lola, my school uploaded my name as Tosin instead of Oluwatosin and Oluwatosin is what is on my certificate. Is there a way I can correct it?
Apply for correction after NYSC Registration and I form your school about it.
My NIN,WAEC and international passport name do no match with my jamb name and statement of result.
My NIN,WAEC and international passport bears Chukwurah Chidera Nelson,
while my jamb and statement of result bears Chukwurah Chukwudera Nelson please will it affect me in the NYSC camp?
Hi Lola! Hope you’re doing great . I wanna ask you something. I don’t know if I have asked you this before, but I’m want clear explanation on how this works… The middle name on my School certs ain’t the same with the one on NIN/Bank.
School documents have it as “Nwali Chizuruoke Leonard”
While bank and NIN have it as “Nwali Chizuruoke Christian”
What do I do?
Can swearing of affidavit in the court get it solved as it won’t affect me during service/NYSC or something or should I go ahead and apply like that? What am I gonna do?
If you are able to get past registration, it won’t affect you in camp. Your name on certificate and dashboard is must be thesame.
We’re you able to register?
I need clarification, I went for Camp Last Year but was unable to register because of name discrepancy.
I came back to correct the name on my Jamb to match the one on my dashboard, the issue now is there is mis-arrangement of names and misspelling of one of my names on the dashboard but I can’t find the place for the correction of name, what should I do ma?
Apply for correction from your NYSC Dashboard. You can correct and rearrange. You can’t just add another name.
Good afternoon please I did correction of misspelt name on Tuesday because instead of them to put “Paschal” that’s with an H they used “Pascal” I did all these correction on the dashboard after I finished my online registration, up till now its still showing that it’s under review and call up number came out today
Kindly wait for it
Good afternoon, please I did a correction of my misspelt name on my dashboard on Tuesday after registration, and it’s still showing, your request is being reviewed, since Tuesday please and it’s just wrong spelling, they didn’t add one letter Omo
