Important Note: The option to capture fingerprints directly through your web browser is no longer supported.

Here’s what you’ll need to carry out the NYSC Biometrics:

A computer with internet access.

A Digital Persona 4500 fingerprint scanner as you can see below:

Step 1: Download and install the Biometric Client

Visit the NYSC Biometric Client download page (https://nysc.org.ng/biometricclient/launch.htm).

Carefully follow the on-page instructions to install the Biometric Client software.

Remember: No license or additional software is required for registration and fingerprint capture.

Step 2: Capture your fingerprints

Once the Biometric Client is installed, launch the program.

The software will guide you through the fingerprint-capturing process. Make sure to follow the on-screen instructions carefully.

Step 3: Complete your NYSC online registration and biometrics

Pro Tip: Ensure you have a valid passport photograph that meets the NYSC specifications before proceeding.

Proceed with the online registration process on the NYSC portal.

During registration, you’ll be prompted to complete the NYSC biometrics section. The Biometric Client software will seamlessly integrate with the registration portal to capture your fingerprints electronically.
