How to View and Print WAEC Certificates and Results
Before obtaining digital certificates, WAEC recommended candidates to check their performance on its result portal.

Before going to the Digital Certificate platform at www.waec.org to access released digital certificate copies, candidates can verify their status by visiting www.waecdirect.org.

“To print hard copy certificates, candidates must apply online via the WAEC Certificate Request Portal, e-Certman. The statement said, “All candidates who took the exams are encouraged to carefully review their results and take the appropriate actions as soon as possible, including obtaining certificates and completing the necessary applications online.”

According to the council, there were 69,604 applicants for the test, which is 1.8% more than the 68,342 that were registered in 2024.

According to sources, 65,752 of these candidates took the test at 370 locations around the country.
