What are the requirements to fill out the Nigerian Navy form?
Before you proceed with or think of joining the Navy, you must first meet their requirements for joining the service. Here are the guidelines; please read: Nigerian Navy batch 38 application guidelines 2024/2025
If you met all the requirements in the link I shared, then proceed; if not, please go back and read.
Before going to a cyber cafe to take the form or apply online, please go with the following certificates and documents:
- O’level or other qualification results, a card pin to check the result online, testimonials, and primary/secondary leaving certificates. What is important is your actual grade, examination number, and pin (a scratch card to check your result online).
- Your accurate height
- Your birth certificate and/or age declaration
- Your NIN
These are the four most important documents you must bring to the cyber cafe to apply for the Nigerian Navy recruitment. On the application page, you will be asked to fill in your name accurately, as it appears in all your documents. Please ensure your name is in the right order. Peter John can be different from John Peter. Also, Peter John can be different from Peter Johnson or Peter John Godwin.
Make sure the name reflects exactly in most of your documents, you might still be considered lucky if you use two (2) names that reflect in your three (3) names. Try as much as possible to ensure you are on the safe side, because a slight mistake can disqualify you.
Filling the Nigerian Navy Form Online
You will be required to enter Your name, age, state of origin, and local government. Please ensure the details you entered should reflect exactly as same on your BVN, NIN, state certificate, birth certificate, O’level results or other qualifications, testimonials, and primary and secondary leaving certificates.
You will be asked to enter your height during application, please check again that you meet the height requirements but always fill the appropriate height above or within the required height if not you will be disqualified automatically.
You are required to submit your NIN, please enter the correct details as they will review to confirm you are the owner of the NIN. Also ensure the details on the NIN correspond with what you are filling online (Name, Age or Sex)
You will be required to fill in your examination year, centre, number and grades. Combination of two (2) results is allowed but you must ensure both is not older than 6 years. You will see a column to confirm the year and number of sittings. This helps those who didn’t make all their papers in both results to combine the subjects in other to meet the requirement.
Others information can be filled later after submission and printing. These listed above are the ones you are to fill during application online.
Filing Parent/Guardian’s and Guarantor’s form
Your parent or legal guardian must sign and consent to your application to join the Nigerian Navy. There will be a page or column for your parent to sign after printing out your application, as well as a guarantor to sign as a witness. This is nothing to worry about, as anyone can sign it on your behalf.
Some even signed their own names; the Navy only want something they could use as evidence that your parents had given their consent for you to be enlisted. You will be asked to submit two (2) referees, their name, phone numbers and signatures.
Filling the Local Government Area Certification
You will need to have your certificate of state from any liaison office or local Government area. Also, you will be required to fill the LGA certification column and must be signed by LGA Chairman / Secretary or Senior Military Officer not below the rank of Commander or equivalent or Chief Superintendent of Police from Applicant’s state of origin.
Filling Police certification
You are required to fill and sign this column by a divisional of police officer. Just go to any nearby police in your division and tell them you want to sign your Navy form and any of the officer there will attend to you. If their DPO is not available, his second in command can sign on his behalf. Carry small thing for hand, like N1,000 to N2,000. Police is your friend but you must pay bail.
