Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I’m missing one document?
Incomplete documentation typically results in disqualification. However, if you’re missing a document due to genuine circumstances, contact the CDCFIB helpdesk immediately for guidance before your screening date. In some cases, you may be given a grace period to produce certain documents, but this is not guaranteed. It’s crucial to have everything ready beforehand.
2. Can someone else collect my screening invitation or attend on my behalf?
No. Screening invitations and document verification must be done in person by the candidate. Proxy representation is strictly not permitted under any circumstances. You must appear physically with your original documents for verification.
3. Are there fees for the screening exercise?
The CDCFIB recruitment process is entirely free from start to finish. You should not pay any money for screening slots, document verification, or any stage of the recruitment. Be cautious of fraudsters demanding payments. Report any suspicious requests for payment to appropriate authorities immediately.
4. What if my name is not on the shortlist when it’s released?
If your name doesn’t appear on the December 1st list, it means you were not shortlisted for this phase. However, you should verify that you’re checking the correct list and using the right search parameters (application number, registration details). If you believe there’s an error, contact the CDCFIB support team with your application details for clarification.
5. How many photocopies of each document should I bring?
While the announcement specifies bringing photocopies, it’s advisable to prepare at least two sets of photocopies for each document. This ensures you have backup copies in case additional submissions are required. Keep your original documents separate and well-protected in a folder or envelope.
6. What is the acceptable age range for CDCFIB recruitment?
Generally, candidates must be between 18 and 30 years old, though this may vary slightly depending on the specific service (Civil Defence, Correctional Service, Fire Service, or Immigration). Your birth certificate or age declaration will be verified against this requirement. Confirm the specific age requirements for your chosen service on the official portal.
7. Can I change my screening venue after selection?
Venue changes after initial selection are typically not permitted unless there are exceptional circumstances. Once you select your preferred venue, you’re expected to attend at that location. Choose carefully based on your convenience and accessibility. If you face genuine emergency circumstances that prevent attendance, contact CDCFIB support immediately to explore possible options, though changes are not guaranteed.
Additional Important Information
Document Authentication
All educational certificates will be cross-verified with issuing institutions. Ensure your certificates are genuine and match the information provided during your online application. Discrepancies between your application data and physical documents will lead to disqualification.
Medical Fitness Standards
The medical fitness report should include comprehensive health checks covering vision, hearing, blood pressure, general physical condition, and any chronic illnesses. Government hospitals are familiar with CDCFIB medical requirements. Schedule your medical examination early to avoid last-minute rushes.
Guarantor Requirements
Your guarantor must be a person of reputable standing in society, such as a civil servant (Grade Level 12 and above), traditional ruler, religious leader, or other recognized community leader. They must not be related to you by blood. The guarantor’s information will be verified, so ensure they’re aware and willing to stand as your guarantor.
Stay Updated
Continue monitoring the official CDCFIB website and recruitment portal for the December 1st release. Ensure your contact information registered during application remains active to receive important notifications via email or SMS.
The opportunity to serve in Nigeria’s Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, or Immigration Services is both an honor and responsibility. Proper preparation and adherence to these requirements will position you for success in the 2025 recruitment exercise.
