Common Reasons for “No Record Found” on NYSC Portal
- Institution Has Not Uploaded Senate List
Your school may still be in the process of sending graduates’ information to NYSC. - Your Details Were Not Included in the Batch
You might have been omitted due to an error or incomplete clearance. - Incorrect or Incomplete Information
If there are errors in your name, matric number, or date of birth, your details may not match those in NYSC’s database. - Your Institution Hasn’t Approved Your Results Yet
You need to ensure your final results have been approved and forwarded to NYSC. - NYSC Is Yet to Update Their Portal
Sometimes the delay may be from NYSC’s end during uploads and verification.
How to Fix “No Record Found” on NYSC Senate List
Step 1: Confirm Your School Has Uploaded the Senate List
- Visit your school’s student affairs unit or NYSC liaison officer.
- Ask whether your name was included in the recently submitted Senate list.
Step 2: Verify Your Eligibility
Ensure you:
- Have completed your final clearance.
- Have no outstanding academic issues.
- Have collected your Statement of Result.
Step 3: Check the Senate List Again
Visit the NYSC Senate List portal:
https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc2/VerifySenateLists.aspx
Enter:
- Institution name
- Matriculation number

If you still get “No Record Found,” move to the next step.
Step 4: Cross-check Your Details
Make sure:
- Your names match exactly with those used during your institution’s graduation clearance.
- There are no spelling errors in your matric number or date of birth.
