Navigating the process of registration and deployment can be challenging, but with this guide, you’ll be well-prepared for your national service.
Step 1: Checking Your Posting
- You can check your national service posting by sending your NSS alphanumeric code via SMS to a shortcode provided by NSS. This will instantly display the details of your posting on your phone screen.
Step 2: Obtaining Your Appointment Letter
- Once you know your posting location, log on to the official NSS website at www.nss.gov.gh and click on “Check Postings.”
- Follow the required online process, and your appointment letter will appear on your computer screen.
- Print at least three (3) copies of your appointment letter. These copies are essential for various processes related to your national service.
Step 3: Reporting to the NSS Regional Office
- With your appointment letters and posting details in hand, proceed to the region where you’ll be conducting your national service.
- Report to the NSS Regional Office.
- The Regional Director of the scheme will endorse your appointment letter during this visit.
- It is advisable to go on the first day of registration, especially if you are posted to heavily populated areas like Accra or Kumasi.
- Note that the endorsement process may take two to three days, so be prepared for some waiting time.
Step 4: Reporting to Your User Agency
- After getting your appointment letter endorsed at the regional office, proceed to your User Agency.
- The head of the institution will also endorse your appointment letter, confirming that you have reported for your national service.
- It’s crucial that the date of endorsement is indicated on your appointment letter.
Step 5: Filing a Copy at the NSS District Office
- Send one fully endorsed and dated copy of your appointment letter to your district office.
- Provide a copy of your endorsed appointment letter to the NSS District Director to be filed in the office.
- Contact details for NSS District Offices can be found on the official NSS website under the “Contact Us” menu.
Step 6: Beginning Your National Service
- Once your appointment letter is filed, return to your User Agency to commence your national service.
- National service usually starts in September of the year in which you were posted.
Step 7: Monthly Duty Reporting
- During your national service, you will be required to submit a Duty Reporting Form to your NSS District Office.
- This form should be endorsed by your supervisor at the User Agency where you are serving.
- Submit the form before the 15th of every month.
- This form serves not only to facilitate the processing of your allowances but also to collect performance information from your supervisor.
