The path to becoming a Nigerian police officer is a journey of discipline, resilience, and attention to detail. If you have received the notification stating, “You are invited to a written examination sequel to your success at the last NPF screening. Login to npfapplication.psc.gov.ng to print your examination slip/IV,” you have successfully cleared the first major hurdle of the 2026 recruitment exercise.

This article serves as your comprehensive roadmap to accessing the portal, printing your colored examination slip, and preparing for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) scheduled for April 28 to April 30, 2026.

1. Accessing the Official Portal: npfapplication.psc.gov.ng

The first and most critical step is ensuring you are on the right website. Scammers often create “mirror” sites to harvest personal data. The only authorized portal for the Police Service Commission (PSC) and Nigeria Police Force (NPF) recruitment is:

Official URL: https://npfapplication.psc.gov.ng

How to Login and Print Your Slip

1. Open your Browser: Use a modern browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on a desktop computer for the best experience.

2. Navigate to “Print Aptitude Slip”: On the homepage, look for the specific tab or button labeled “Print Aptitude Slip” or “Check CBT Status.”

3. Enter Your NIN: You will be prompted to enter your National Identification Number (NIN). This is the unique 11-digit number issued by NIMC.

4. Preview and Download: Once your details load, you will see your Examination Invitation Card. Click the download/print button.

5. Print in Colour: Crucial Note: The PSC has explicitly stated that the slip must be printed in color. Black and white copies may be rejected at the venue because they do not clearly show the candidate’s photograph and the security barcode.

2. Understanding Your Examination Details

When you print your slip, it will contain three vital pieces of information that you must memorize:

• Examination Date: Your test will fall between April 28 and April 30, 2026. Do not assume your date; check the slip.

• Examination Venue: The venue is usually a designated JAMB CBT center within your state of origin or residence.

• Batch and Time: Candidates are divided into morning and afternoon batches. Being late by even 30 minutes can lead to automatic disqualification.

3. Mandatory Items for the Examination Day

Arriving at the venue with the correct documentation is just as important as your performance in the exam. Ensure you have the following “Exam Day Kit” ready:

• A Functional Pen: While it is a CBT (Computer-Based Test), you may need a pen for rough work or attendance signing.

• NIN Slip: The original slip issued by NIMC, featuring a clear photograph.

• Printed Examination Invitation Card: The colored slip you just printed from the portal.

• Application Submission Form: The original form you printed at the very beginning of the registration process.

The Mandatory Dress Code

The Nigeria Police Force is a paramilitary organization that values uniformity. Failure to adhere to the dress code will result in being barred from the examination center:

• Plain White T-shirt

• Plain White Shorts

• White Canvas Shoes and White Socks

4. What to Expect During the CBT Examination

The recruitment examination is designed to test your mental alertness, literacy, and general knowledge. The subjects typically include:

Subject	Focus Areas
English Language	Comprehension, Synonyms, Antonyms, and Grammar.
Mathematics	Basic Arithmetic, Percentages, and Simple Interest.
Current Affairs	History of the Nigeria Police, current Nigerian leaders, and Geography.
General Knowledge	Basic Science and Logical Reasoning.

5. Troubleshooting Portal Issues

If you encounter difficulties while trying to login to npfapplication.psc.gov.ng, try these quick fixes:

• “Invalid NIN”: Double-check the 11 digits. If the problem persists, ensure you are using the same NIN that was used during your initial application and physical screening.

• Site Not Loading: The portal experiences heavy traffic. Try logging in during “off-peak” hours, such as 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM.

• No “Print” Button: Ensure your browser is not blocking pop-ups. You may need to “Allow Pop-ups” from the portal settings in your browser.

6. Security Warning and Anti-Scam Policy

The Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Nigeria Police Force have repeatedly issued a stern warning: The NPF recruitment process is 100% FREE.

• No Payment Required: You do not need to pay anyone to print your slip or to “pass” the examination.

• Job Racketeering: If anyone contacts you claiming they can influence your result for a fee, report them immediately to info@psc.gov.ng.

• Confidentiality: Never share your NIN or Application Reference ID with unofficial third parties or social media groups.
