Step by step tutorial and detailed difference guide between call up letter and green card

The Nysc green card and Call up letter are important documents. In fact, they are the most important documents of all you’ll be taking to the Nysc camp for the orientation course. However, many Prospective Corp Members (PCMs) and even some corp members don’t know the difference between the two, what they are used for and how to print them.

In this guide, we’ll be looking at the difference between the Nysc green card and call up letter in details. We’ll also be showing you how to print these documents in a step by step tutorial.

Difference between Nysc Call up Letter and Green Card

The Nysc Green card is the registration slip. It is the document that consists of all your bio-data information which you filled during the Nysc registration. It is part of the compulsory document all PCMs must present when they get to camp for easy admission into the campground.

The green card entails your Name, Gender, Tel No, Home Address, Next of Kin details, information about your educational background, your kit spec (jacket size, jungle boot size, etc).

The Call-up letter, on the other hand, is the document that certifies you have been deployed to a state for your one year National Service. It also shows the full details about the state you have been deployed to, the address of your orientation camp and instructions about your orientation course.

Without any of these two documents, you can’t do your Nysc. This doesn’t imply that they are the only documents you need for your orientation course. Check out our detailed orientation course guide for full details of the compulsory and optional documents you need to take to camp in pdf format.
