The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced September 7 to 13, 2026, as the registration period for prospective corps members (PCMs) of the 2026 Batch C.
The scheme also announced that obtaining clearance from the National Education Records Database (NERD) is compulsory for all prospective corps members before they can complete their NYSC registration.
In a notice posted on X on Friday, the NYSC directed all PCMs to obtain their NERD Clearance Certificate before commencing the registration process.
The scheme advised prospective corps members to secure the clearance early to avoid delays during the mobilisation exercise.
It warned that candidates without the required clearance would not be allowed to register for the service year.
“NERD clearance is compulsory for all PCMs,” the notice stated.
The NYSC added, “No NERD clearance, no NYSC registration.”
The registration portal is scheduled to open on Monday, September 7, and close on Sunday, September 13.
The scheme urged all prospective corps members preparing for the 2026 Batch C mobilisation to obtain their NERD clearance before the registration window opens.
