Correction Of NYSC Date Of Birth
A lot of prospective corps members ask themselves this question “how do I change my NYSC date of birth?.”
This has been one of the major causes for worry among prospective corps members. Age is just a number they say, but it is more than just a number for individuals who desperately want to serve their country.
Reasons For NYSC Change Of Date Of Birth
There are so many reasons why prospective corps members want a change in their date of birth.
Below are some of the reasons why Corpers correct their date of birth.
1. A mistake in their date of birth submitted to NYSC
NYSC management gets each prospective corps members records directly from two bodies which are the higher institution they attended and the Joint Administration Matriculation Board (JAMB).
This is done automatically to get some of their data already uploaded on their online portal.
If the mistake is in the month or day of birth, it may not necessarily call for worry because they will still be eligible to serve, but If the mistake is in the year of birth and the mistake increased their age to above 30 years, they will have to follow the steps available to effect a change in their date of birth, if they wish to serve.
2. They are truly above 30 years of age and want to reduce it to a lower age to enable them serve their country
Some prospective corps members get to know about the mistake in their date of birth on time before their biodata is forwarded to the NYSC management.
They find out when their school posts the mobilization list for all students to cross-check their records.
In this case, quick action can be taken by reporting the mistake to the school. Their date of birth will then be corrected before it is forwarded to the National Youth Service Corps.
But if on the contrary it is not discovered till the online mobilization registration, keep calm there is still no cause for worry.
Mistakes are inevitable, that is why there is always a way for correction to be made.
