How to Apply for NYSC Relocation Online

NYSC relocation (also known as redeployment) is the process that allows Corp members to change their state of deployment after being initially posted. While the majority of Corps members remain in their assigned state, some may face situations that require a change of location. Valid reasons for relocation include health conditions, marriage, security concerns, or special directives from the NYSC Director General.

You can either apply for relocation online or while in the orientation camp. In this article, we will walk you through the process of applying for NYSC relocation online, the steps involved, the documents required, and how to manage your relocation after approval.

Reasons for NYSC Relocation

Before applying for relocation, it’s important to understand the valid reasons that NYSC accepts for redeployment:-

1. Health: If a Corps member has health issues that cannot be treated in their state of deployment, they can apply for relocation. A medical certificate from a certified health facility is typically required as proof.
2. Marriage: Female Corps members who get married during their service year can apply for relocation to be with their spouses. A marriage certificate is required for this type of application.
3. Security: If there are security threats or unrest in the state of deployment, a Corp member can apply for redeployment to a safer location. Supporting evidence of the security situation, like reports or warnings, may be required.
4. DG Directives: Sometimes, the NYSC Director-General may issue directives for the redeployment of certain Corps members. This is usually for special cases that require urgent attention.
