Here is everything you need to know about the NYSC clearance – both monthly and final clearance.

Monthly clearance is essential for serving corps members because it is required to receive the monthly Federal Government allowance.
The clearance is completed at the Local Government Secretariat by the Local Government Inspector (LGI).
The monthly clearance is used to verify that you are still serving and have not absconded.
The clearance period is set at ten days. It runs from the first of the month to the tenth of the month. The status of your clearance for every 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 the 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 the 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 office 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:
- A record of the Orientation Assessment documented on NYSC Form 2(A);
- A quarterly record of Primary Assignment Assessment by the Corps Employer documented on NYSC Form 2(B); and
- A record of Secondary Assignment Assessment by the Community Development Inspector as documented on NYSC Form 2(C).
