Please I want to ask something regarding this name arrangement. In my school certificate my name is written as offurugbo jemimah doubara and then my NYSC dashboard its written as offurugbo Doubara jemimah. My surname is offurugbo, my first name is doubara and my last name is jemimah. So I don't know if I'll have issues with that

CorperHelper:
One of the most common issues upcoming corpers face is seeing the wrong name on their NYSC dashboard after registration 😩
It feels small at first but trust me with NYSC, name issues are never small. The name on your dashboard determines your call-up letter, your camp documentation and eventually your discharge certificate. That's the real problem everyone tries to avoid.

Here's what The Creative Rose Studio wants you to know 👇🏽
There are 3 types of name errors:
1) Spelling mistakes a wrong or missing letter. These are the easiest to fix directly on your dashboard
2)Wrong name arrangement your names are correct but in the wrong order. Also fixable on the dashboard
3)Missing or extra names this is the most complicated. NYSC will NOT let you add or remove names on the dashboard. Only your school's Student Affairs Officer can fix this

How to correct your name on the NYSC portal:
Log in at portal.nysc.org.ng
Click the Name Correction link below your passport photo
Select spelling correction or name rearrangement
Enter the correct details and submit
Wait for manual review this can take a few days to weeks

Important things to know:
✅ Apply for correction IMMEDIATELY after registration don't wait till camp
✅ Name correction is FREE NYSC does not charge for this
✅ If your correction is still pending you can still go to camp they will process it there
❌ You CANNOT correct your name after camp registration it gets locked in
What about JAMB and WAEC names?

NYSC uses the name your school submitted on the senate list not JAMB or WAEC. So differences on those documents usually don't affect your registration as long as your school submitted correctly.
