Your NYSC document, sorted

The NYSC certificate (discharge, exemption or exclusion) is a document Nigerian employers, and many institutions abroad, insist on. Whether you need to verify it, replace a lost one, correct a detail, or establish that you qualify for an exemption, this guide explains the routes.

Honest note: RenewPapers is not the NYSC. Certificates and verifications are issued by the scheme. What we do is prepare and run the application — verification, replacement, correction or exemption — so it is accepted first time.

Which document is yours?

  • Certificate of National Service (discharge) — for those who served.
  • Exemption certificate — for those exempt (e.g. graduating above the age limit, or certain prior service).
  • Exclusion / exclusion letter — for those who studied part-time or otherwise fall outside the scheme.
