Does NYSC accept change of names? Yes, NYSC accepts change of name. However, there are some conditions that must be met in order for the change to be approved.
- The change of name must be supported by a court order or a sworn affidavit.
- The change of name must have been made before the prospective corps member’s name was uploaded on the NYSC portal.
- The change of name must be reflected on the prospective corps member’s academic transcripts and other relevant documents.
If these conditions are met, the prospective corps member can apply for a change of name on the NYSC portal. The application will be reviewed by NYSC and a decision will be made within a reasonable time.
It is important to note that NYSC does not accept changes of name after the prospective corps member has been mobilized for service. If a prospective corps member’s name changes after they have been mobilized, they will need to apply for a replacement certificate of national service.
