Approved Venues for CDCFIB Physical Verification Exercise Across Nigeria

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has released the official list of approved venues for the 2025 physical verification exercise. Shortlisted candidates for the ongoing recruitment into the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), and the Federal Fire Service (FFS) are required to appear only at their designated state verification centres.

This update is crucial for all applicants seeking accurate, verified details on the CDCFIB physical screening venues for 2025. Below is the complete, approved list of verification centres across all states and the FCT.

Why These Venues Matter

The physical verification stage is one of the most important phases of the CDCFIB recruitment process. Candidates’ documents, physical fitness, identity, and eligibility will be confirmed at the designated state centres.

To avoid disqualification, applicants must:

• Attend only the centre assigned to their state.
• Arrive on the date and time selected via the official portal.
• Bring all required original documents for verification.

Failure to appear at the approved venue may automatically affect an applicant’s recruitment status.
