Life is unpredictable and anything can happen. But it’s advised that one should not misplace his/her certificate. It should be well safeguarded because it’s usually boldly written at the edge of the certificate that no substitute will be issued if the certificate is lost.

The West African Examination Council does not issue a duplicate certificate.

But if due to unforeseen circumstances you lose your WAEC certificate, the only available remedy is to get an Attestation of Result from WAEC. Instead of having nothing to prove it. The Council, however, now issues Attestation of Results which are as valid as the certificate. Users who wish could confirm the details on the document with the Council.
Latest requirement updates by WAEC was on 1st March, 2016.

The Attestation of Results is issued to individual candidates or persons for their possession. The Attestation must be collected personally by applicants from the offices of the WAEC council in different regions of the country. For the issuance of the Attestation, applicants will be required to provide the following details:

ISSUANCE OF ATTESTATION OF RESULT

The requirements are:
