For Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) in the 2026 Batch B Stream II mobilisation cycle, printing the NYSC call-up letter is one of the most important steps before heading to orientation camp. The call-up letter is not just paperwork — it is your official entry pass, carrying details of your state of deployment, orientation camp address, and reporting instructions. Here is everything currently confirmed, along with how the printing process works.
What Is the NYSC Call-Up Letter?
The NYSC call-up letter is an official document issued to graduates who have successfully completed their online registration on the NYSC portal. It confirms that you have been formally mobilised to serve and contains the following key information:
- Your full name and call-up number
- State of deployment
- Orientation camp address and reporting date
- Instructions and warnings regarding compliance
You cannot gain entry into any NYSC orientation camp without a printed copy of this letter. It is mandatory, and presenting a digital or screenshot version at the camp gate is not accepted.
Batch B Stream II 2026: Orientation Camp and Printing Timeline
The NYSC management has confirmed that the 2026 Batch B Stream II orientation camp opens on Wednesday, 22nd July 2026 and closes on Tuesday, 11th August 2026.
As of the time of publishing, NYSC has not released an official call-up letter printing date specifically for Batch B Stream II. Based on how NYSC has structured previous batches, call-up letters are typically made available for printing two to three days before camp opens. For Stream II, that places the expected printing window around 19th to 21st July 2026 — though PCMs should monitor the official NYSC portal for the confirmed date once it is announced.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Orientation Camp Opens | Wednesday, 22nd July 2026 |
| Orientation Camp Closes | Tuesday, 11th August 2026 |
| Expected Call-Up Letter Printing Window | Around 19th – 21st July 2026 (based on NYSC pattern; not yet officially confirmed) |
| Camp Duration | 21 Days |
This page will be updated once NYSC officially announces the call-up letter release date for Batch B Stream II.
How to Print Your NYSC Call-Up Letter (Step-by-Step)
The printing process is the same across all NYSC batches and streams. Once the portal activates call-up letter printing for your batch, follow the steps below:
Step 1 — Log In to the NYSC Portal
Go to the official NYSC portal at portal.nysc.org.ng. Enter your registered email address and password, then click the login button to access your dashboard.
Step 2 — Locate the Call-Up Letter Option
Once you are inside your dashboard, look for and click on the “Print Call-Up Letter” option. If the button is not yet active, it means printing has not opened for your stream — check back closer to the expected date.
Step 3 — Download as PDF
Your call-up letter will open as a PDF document. Download and save the file to your device before heading to print. If you do not have a device handy, you can log in directly at a cyber café and print from there.
Step 4 — Print on A4 Paper
Print the call-up letter on plain A4 paper using clear black ink. Print at least two to three copies and keep them in a safe place along with your other camp documents. Do not laminate the call-up letter — NYSC does not accept laminated copies at the camp gate.
Documents to Take to Camp Alongside Your Call-Up Letter
The call-up letter alone is not sufficient for camp admission. You will need to present the following at the orientation camp gate:
- NERD Clearance Slip — mandatory for camp entry; must be obtained before travelling
- Green Card — printed from the NYSC portal (original and photocopies)
- Statement of Result or Certificate — original and photocopies, authenticated by your institution
- School ID Card — original and photocopies
- Valid means of identification — national ID, international passport, or voter’s card
- Passport photographs — carry at least 6–10 copies
Practical Tips Before You Print
Verify Your Portal Details Are Correct
Before the call-up letter drops, log in to your dashboard and confirm that your name, date of birth, and other personal details are accurate. Any error at this stage could create complications at camp or during verification.
Do Not Use Third-Party Printing Links
Every batch cycle comes with fake NYSC portal links circulating on WhatsApp and Telegram. Only use the official URL: portal.nysc.org.ng. NYSC does not authorise printing through any external website.
Print Early — Don’t Wait for Camp Day
Once printing opens, get your copies done immediately. Do not leave it until the eve of camp. Printer issues, network downtime, or sudden portal traffic can delay things when you are already rushing to travel.
Keep Physical Copies Separate
Pack one copy with your other camp documents and keep a spare copy in a different bag or envelope. Losing your only printed copy on the day of travel is more common than most PCMs expect.

Can I use a screenshot of my call-up letter at the camp gate?
No. NYSC requires a physical printed copy of the call-up letter. Screenshots and digital versions are not accepted at orientation camp gates.
What happens if I cannot print my call-up letter before camp?
You should resolve any portal access issues before travelling to camp. If you encounter a technical problem on the portal, contact your institution’s NYSC desk officer or reach NYSC directly through their official support channels. Do not travel to camp without a printed copy.
