NYSC clearance (Monthly and Final Clearance Guide) – 2025
Here is everything you need to know about the NYSC clearance, both monthly and final.
Serving corps members must complete monthly clearance to receive the monthly Federal Government allowance.
The Local Government Inspector (LGI) completes the clearance at the Local Government Secretariat.
The monthly clearance verifies that you are still serving and have not absconded.
The clearance period lasts ten days, from the first to the tenth of the month. Your clearance status for each month will be uploaded to your dashboard.
Your monthly clearance dashboard looks like this (see the image below):
If you have been cleared for a month and discover that your status is “Absent,” you should see your Local Government Inspector (LGI) as soon as possible.
Requirements for NYSC Monthly Clearance
The major requirement for your NYSC clearance is a signed clearance letter from your PPA. Remember to go to your local government office every month on your scheduled day, dressed on your 6/7 or 7/7 with your NYSC ID card.
Do not forget your clearance letter, which has been signed by your PPA.
The schedule for the monthly clearance is done by the LGI, and most times, different batches have separate days. Connect with your friends or CLO for information about your day.
How Do You Check Your NYSC Monthly Clearance?
As soon as you complete your NYSC biometric clearance, your LGA monthly clearance status should appear on your dashboard. However, it is dependent on the network in the area.
The following are ways to verify your NYSC monthly clearance status online:
- Go to the NYSC portal.
- Log in to your dashboard with your password and e-mail address.
- Select “LGA Clearance.”
- It would display the list of months you have taken part in the NYSC monthly clearance and your status, which can either be ‘Present’ or ‘Absent.’
NYSC Final Clearance
The last stage before your NYSC POP is final clearance from your local government.
Your PPA provides you with the final clearance letter. The local government office will also give you the final NYSC clearance documents (Forms 2A, 2B and 2C). These documents must be duly signed by your PPA and submitted back to the local government office.
Also, your CDS Officer (CDS Coordinator) will sign and clear you for payment of CDS dues and levies, Foundation Form, and Magazine. Your CDS Officer or Coordinator will take your final clearance to the LGI and ZI offices for stamping and return it to you.
Your final clearance document is what you will use for your final biometrics. When you complete your biometrics, the officer will sign and stamp it for final approval.
In order to provide a full record of the work, conduct, and capabilities of each member and to assist the Directorate Headquarters in giving a correct assessment of each member at the end of the service year, the following reports shall be made for each corps member:
