For relocated corps members, await the official date for documentation.
Until your state code changes and you have got a PPA before you can thumbprint and do your monthly or final LGA clearance on the NYSC portal.
The officials are aware of the situation, don’t panic.
The monthly clearance is very important for serving corps members, as it is a prerequisite to getting an allowance from the federal government.
The clearance is done at the local government secretariat, where the local inspector has an office.
The purpose of the monthly clearance is to mark a register you are still serving and have not absconded.
The clearance is fixed for 10 days.
It begins from the first day of the month until the 10th day of that month.
Excluding weekends and public holidays, the schedule will be uploaded on your dashboard.
There may be disruption of clearance schedule when the local government inspector goes to the orientation camp programme for the new batch.
If you thumbprint for the month and find out that your clearance status is still showing “Absent”, see your local government inspector as soon as possible.

Check Your NYSC LGA Monthly Clearance
Here are the steps to check your NYSC monthly clearance status online:
- Go to the NYSC portal.
- Login to your dashboard using your password and e-mail.
- Click on “LGA Clearance.”
It would show you the list of months you take part in monthly clearance and your status, which can either be ‘Present’ or ‘Absent’.
Your LGA monthly clearance status should reflect on your dashboard as soon as you have done your NYSC biometric clearance.
Although, it depends on the network in the area.
NYSC Final Clearance From PPA
Here are the steps to do your NYSC final clearance:
- You get your final clearance letter from your PPA. It must be a letter headed paper, it must be signed with stamp or sealed from your office, then you staple your ID card to the final clearance.
- Take the paper to your area inspector or LGI to clear you.
- Then your CDS officer (coordinator) will sign and clear you for meetings, foundation form, and magazine payment.
- Your CDS officer or coordinator will take your final clearance to the LGI office for stamping.
- You use your final clearance for the final biometrics. When you do your biometrics, the officer will sign and stamp your final clearance for the final biometrics.
- Present that final clearance paper at the point of collecting the certificate.
Note that you must have five (5) to seven (7) stamps or seven (7) signatures on your final clearance paper.
What happens when a corps member misses biometrics/clearance?
If you’re not present for your biometric or monthly clearance, you will not get your allowance for that month.
With the aid of technology, the officials will know that you are absent from the clearance and because you are absent, you won’t get anything for that month.
If you miss your monthly clearance thrice, your service year is going to be extended because it shows that you were not present throughout the month(s) and at your place of primary assignment.
Don’t miss your monthly clearance for anything.
If you really have to miss it, make sure that you have a sound reason and you can present evidence while you actually missed it.
