• Scratch card(s) of the applicant’s WAEC or NECO results
• 4 passport photographs each bearing a stamp at the back and properly signed by the applicant’s guardian/parent
• Properly filled Identification Form signed by Secretary/Chairman of applicant’s LGA, officer in the rank of Commander or of higher status, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) OR similar officer of higher rank. Notably, the officer, Commander or CSP must come from the same state of origin as the applicant
• Photocopies of the applicant’s credentials
• Photocopies of the applicant’s Birth Certificate or equivalent document (such as an affidavit of age declaration)

Other Important Notes

• In the course of the selection interview, applicants will have to tender their primary school leaving certificates
• SSCE or any of its equivalents is the required qualification for admittance into the following categories –B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, C1, D1, D2, D4, D5, D6, E1, E2, E3, E4, F1, G, and H.
• Applicants are advised to declare/provide/tender all the required qualifications or certificates (in their possession) at the point of recruitment. The reason for this is that the Nigerian Navy will not accept any certificates/qualifications tendered/declared after its recruitment exercise given that such certificates/qualifications were not submitted (by applicants) during recruitment. Even in the instance that a Nigerian Navy member needs to tender a particular qualification in order to advance their position or change their department, such a qualification will not be accepted provided that it was not tendered during recruitment
• It is required of each applicant to have hard copies of duly endorsed Local Government Attestation Form and Parent/Guardian Consent Form. These forms are to be submitted during the Nigerian Navy’s job interview
