- All participants are to present the original copies of their credentials and travel documents as uploaded during online registration.
- Medical graduates are required to present their Licenses, Registration Certificates, and other relevant documents issued by professional bodies, along with the originals at the verification venue.
- Those who obtained Evaluation Letters from the Federal Ministry of Education must submit the original copies at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja, upload acknowledged copies online, and present them during verification.
- Only those physically verified and cleared will be eligible for deployment, exemption, or exclusion from the NYSC scheme.
The management reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining order, transparency, and fairness throughout the process, urging all foreign-trained graduates to comply fully with the outlined procedures.
