Pls bro, I'm about going to waec office to do the same thing you, but i want to ask, for someone like me who have submiited the certificate "with error" to my school, can the certificate be retracted from wherever i may have submitted it to and give them the form?

Or it doesn't matter what I've used the wrong tje certificate for in the past, i don't need to collect back the old one.
WAEC can only accept certificates for Nov/dec (GCE) for correction. you cannotsubmit a certificate of an exam you sat for in your secondary school to wAec for correction. you will submit it to your school, then you school will submit to Waec.

Wat u ask 4 is not an easy task @ all. Am having d same problem wit u and 4 dis problem 2 b solved there are certain procedure 2 follow. The first step is dat u will go back 2 ur secondary school and collect letter 4rm ur school 4 d correction of the mistake and after dat u will obtain a bank draft of 10,000 naira 4rm any bank, after dis u will nw make photocopy of ur printout, ur original certificate and the bank draft and submit all dis document 2 waec office. The worst part of the issue is that, it will take up to 6 months before the mistake can be corrected.

Hello Awoladek. Please, I would like to know how long it eventually took for your corrected certificate to be returned. While it was with WAEC, were you issued any form of proof that the certificate was undergoing corrections? Also, was the letter from your principal sent through you or your school? Thanks for your time and anticipated prompt response.

more often people face this issue. i have been a victim myself.i never knew my correct date of birth till after my wassce.the date of birth on my bece is 7th august whiles that on my wassce is 9th sept.i have first degree but in Ghana, degree certs bear no date of birth

solution
waec issue certificate once but however they rectify issues with wrong name or date of birth if the mistake is from them or urself.if u did the mistake,then be prepared to pay about 100 ghana cedis.it will take about six month to a year for rectification


short solution

if you have interview to attend and do not have time to waste just report to waec that your certificate is missing and since waec doesnt issue certificate twice, they will issue you a statement of result which does not conatin your date of birth.make sure you take it to your senior high sch for endorsement/ for it to be stamped in case if your exam is private just let waec endorse it for you.

take along this statement of result with you to attend you interview and when asked about your date of birth jux show dem ur id card or passport or birth certificate.if you are asked about your original crtificate just say it is missing.

tell them to confirm your result at waec office if they wish to

The West African Examinations Council ( WAEC ), has announced that it will no longer amend date of birth and other entries on certificates of candidate from January 1, 2017. The council’s Public Affairs Officer in Nigeria, Mr. Demianus Ojijeogu, who made the announcement on Thursday said the development was part of measures to curb examination malpractice. Mr. Ojijeogu therefore, urged candidates to take advantage of the opportunity to review their entries while registering for the West African Senior Secondary School Examination (WASSCE) on their online portal or obtain affidavits from the courts of law. He added that all requests for amendment of any information on bio- data could only be considered during and after registration. Also See: FG To Increase Corpers Allowance, Guess How Much? Meanwhile, about 25 candidates who sat for either the school or privates examinations conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) have reportedly returned their certificates. The candidates, who claim they are now born again Christians say they are returning the certificates because it was acquired through fraudulent means. Also See: LASU Forcefully Retires Aged Professors A senior staff of WAEC revealed that the council wrote to the candidates explaining what they were expected to do which is to return the certificates in accordance with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examinations and those who complied with the directive returned their certificates to various WAEC offices nationwide, and the council took their cases to the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC), which met recently in Lagos and cancelled the returned 25 certificates.
