The West African Examinations Council on Friday announced a new method through which candidates can collect Attestation of Results and certificates.
It said candidates under the new method can now collect those documents from any of its offices in Nigeria.
Before now, WAEC candidates only collect their Attestation of Results and certificates from the office of the Council in the state where they sat for the examination.
The new development was contained in a statement signed by the Ag Head, Public Affairs, WAEC Nigeria, Demianus Ojijeogu.
WAEC, meanwhile, pointed out that the new modalities on the collection of certificates only apply to private candidates.
On Attestation of Results, the council said both private and school candidates can obtain theirs from any of its offices in Nigeria.
“The new modalities are a clear departure from what obtained in the past, where it was mandatory for private candidates to collect their certificates or Attestation of Results from the WAEC office in the state where they sat the examination. With this new initiative, candidates can apply and collect their Certificates or Attestation of Results (both School and Private Candidates) from any WAEC office of their choice in Nigeria.
“Modalities for Collection of Attestation of Results and Certificates (Private Candidates) are as follows:
“For Attestation of Results, candidates are required to make their requests from any office of the Council and pay a non-refundable fee for the service.
“For collection of certificates, candidates are to make their requests from any office of the Council and pay the prescribed fee;
“Candidates must state clearly the preferred office of collection of the printed Attestation of Result or Certificate and would be required to pay for courier service for delivery to the chosen location.
“Candidates contact details (Mobile Phone Number and E-mail Address) must be provided at the point of request.”
