WAEC Launches Digital Certificate Platform, Suspends Manual Verification
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has launched a digital platform that can be used to retrieve your original WAEC certificate without stress or by visiting the WAEC office. So if you were one of the candidates who took the West African Senior School Certificate Examination between 1999 and the present, you don't have to worry about your certificate being lost, damaged, or misplaced.
What does this imply
It simply implies that candidates who have taken the West African Senior School Certificate Examination from 1999 forward are exempt from the obligation to manually or physically verify their certificate or stamp it. In other words, if you don't have a physical copy of the certificate, you may see or have it validated by a person, group, or establishment using the WAEC Digital Certificate Platform.
Why has the manual verification of WAEC certificates been suspended?
The invention of the WAEC Digital Certificate Platform, which was developed for a simpler and faster way of supplying stakeholders with their candidates' WAEC certificates, led to the suspension of the manual technique of confirming candidates' certificates, according to a statement from the council.
How is the WAEC digital platform different?
It facilitates online certificate authenticity verification for applicants. Up until recently, candidates could see or validate their WAEC certificates in a digital format only by utilizing the WAEC Result Checker to check their results online. However, applicants who took the test between 1999 and the present and who have lost or destroyed their original WAEC certificate may now use our Digital Platform to get their original WAEC certificate validated.
In addition, individuals, groups, or institutions may validate these applicants' WAEC certificates.
For example, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) has made this WAEC Digital Certificate Platform available to any interested institution or organization, so candidates applying for employment in any institution or organization or for admission to higher education can use it to verify their results online.
Advantages of the digital certificate verification platform from WAEC
Candidates may use the portal to see, download, and distribute their genuine WAEC certificates.
The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform enables institutions and organizations to securely and conveniently verify or authenticate the certifications of applicants.
How may institutions and organizations verify WAEC certificates?
All companies, institutions, high commissions, embassies, agencies, etc. have been asked by the West African Examination Council to make their email addresses accessible for digital sharing, receiving, and certificate verification. Additionally, it said that all establishments and groups must carefully upgrade their portals to allow for or be compatible with the exchange of WAEC certificates. Consequently, establishments or groups may validate WAEC certificates by providing WAEC with their email addresses so that WAEC can use them for digital certificate distribution, receipt, and verification.
How reliable is this platform for WAEC digital certificates
According to the statement made by the West African Examination Council, the certificates that may be viewed and shared via the WAEC digital platform are genuine and obtained straight from the WAEC database.
Who may access the WAEC digital platform
The public and stakeholders may both utilize the WAEC Digital Certificate Platform. The WAEC official website offers online access, while the iOS and Android app stores provide the mobile version for download.
