As part of the ongoing 2025/2026 Nigeria Police Force (NPF) recruitment exercise, every applicant is required to submit a completed Guarantor’s Form along with other mandatory documentation during the physical screening stage. This guarantor form is not optional — failing to present it during screening will result in disqualification.

Make sure to:

🧾 What Is the Guarantor’s Form?
The Guarantor’s Form is a sworn declaration by two (2) reputable individuals who agree to vouch for the character, conduct, and identity of the NPF recruitment applicant.
In essence, it is a verification document that:
-
Confirms the applicant is known personally by credible guarantors
-
Guarantees the applicant’s behavior and conduct before, during, and after recruitment
-
Serves as an additional means of identity confirmation during the screening exercise
🧍♂️ Who Can Be a Guarantor?
Not everyone can serve as a guarantor. Only responsible and recognized individuals with professional or community standing may sign the form. Acceptable guarantors include:
-
Traditional Rulers
-
Magistrates
-
Local Government Chairman or Council Chief
-
Heads of Educational Institutions attended by the applicant
-
Career Civil Servants not below Grade Level 13
-
Police Officers not below the rank of CSP (Chief Superintendent of Police)
-
Military Officers not below Lieutenant Colonel rank
⚠️ It is dangerous and potentially illegal to sign as guarantor for someone you do not know well. The form contains a guarantee of accountability, and false warranties could have legal implications.
📝 How to Complete the Guarantor’s Form
Follow these steps carefully when filling out the form:
1. Attach Passport Photos
Each guarantor must attach their recent passport photograph to the designated space on the form.
2. Guarantor’s Personal Details
Each guarantor must provide:
-
Full name
-
Home address
-
Office address
-
Contact telephone number
This information must be accurate and verifiable.
3. Guarantor’s Declaration
Each guarantor must write in their own handwriting that they:
-
Know the applicant personally
-
Guarantee the applicant’s character and conduct
-
Promise to present the applicant if required for security reasons
This declaration is a formal promise to the Police Service Commission.
4. Signature and Date
Each guarantor must:
-
Sign the form
-
Date the form appropriately
-
Ensure the signature matches the name printed on the form
The applicant must also sign and date a section confirming the guarantor information.
📌 Important Notes Before Submission
✔ Hard Copies Are Required
After downloading and completing the form, applicants must:
-
Attach two (2) passport photographs for each guarantor
-
Include photocopies of ID cards of the guarantors (e.g., National ID, driver’s license, staff ID)
-
Present the completed and signed guarantor forms at the screening centre when requested
✔ Screening Without Form Is Not Accepted
The guarantor’s form is a mandatory screening document. According to official NPF guidelines:
“Duly completed Guarantor’s form… Any candidate who fails to present … will not be considered for the screening.”
This means even if you meet age, education, and physical requirements, failure to present the guarantor form will automatically exclude you.
✔ Legal and Security Implications
The guarantor form is a legally binding document. By signing:
-
The guarantor agrees to be contacted by the Nigeria Police Force for verification
-
They take responsibility for confirming the applicant’s background and character
Providing false information may have legal consequences for both the applicant and guarantor.
📌 Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Using Unacceptable Guarantors
Relatives, friends, and neighbors not meeting professional criteria cannot serve as guarantors.
❌ Illegible Handwriting
The form must be filled clearly and legibly in handwriting — typing or scribbled entries may be rejected.
❌ Forgetting Attachments
Always attach:
-
Guarantors’ passport photos
-
Official ID photocopies
Without attachments, the form is invalid.
