If JAMB has offered you admission and your school has also admitted you, the next important step is physical clearance/screening.

‎‎Many admitted candidates make the mistake of resuming without complete documents, only to face unnecessary delays. To avoid that, start preparing these documents early.

‎1. JAMB Admission Letter
‎This is one of the most important documents for your clearance. It proves that JAMB has officially offered you admission.

‎2. JAMB Original Result Slip
‎The original result slip contains your passport photograph and your UTME details. Most institutions require it during screening.

‎3. O'Level Result(s)
‎You'll need your WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, or equivalent result. If you combined two sittings, carry both result certificates or printouts.

‎4. Birth Certificate or Declaration of Age
Most schools request this as proof of your date of birth.

‎5. Certificate of Origin/State of Origin
‎This confirms your state and local government of origin. It is usually obtained from your local government or community authority.

‎6. Passport Photographs
‎Carry several recent passport photographs with a white or red background, depending on your school's requirement.

‎7. Acceptance Fee Receipt
Your institution will request for an acceptance fee receipt, print the payment receipt as proof that you have accepted the admission.

‎9. School Fees Receipt (If Applicable)
‎Some schools require newly admitted students to pay school fees before completing clearance.

‎10. Post-UTME Registration Slip
This shows that you participated in the institution's admission screening process.

‎11. Online Screening/Clearance Forms
Print all forms generated from your school's admission portal, as they may be required during physical verification.

‎12. Course Registration or Biodata Printout (If Available)
Some institutions ask admitted students to complete online biodata before physical screening. Print every completed form.

‎13. Photocopies of All Documents
‎Always make multiple photocopies of every document. Many screening units will collect copies while you retain the originals for verification.

‎MOST IMPORTANTLY

‎- Arrange all your documents neatly in a file.
‎- Keep both the original copies and several photocopies.
‎- Read your institution's screening instructions carefully because requirements may differ from one school to another.
‎- Do not wait until the last minute to obtain important documents.

‎Remember: Every institution has its own screening requirements. Always check your school's official guidelines to confirm if there are additional documents you need.

‎A well-prepared candidate completes screening faster and avoids unnecessary stress.
