WAEC stands for West African Examination Council. WAEC has been around for several years, conducting large scale assessment of senior secondary school students and other external candidates across West African countries


WAEC Examination Number
Your WAEC examination number is a very important number. It stands for your identity with the West African Examination Council.

It is usually given to examination candidates after successful registration of the WAEC exams they want to sit for. The examination number shows and records the academic details of a candidate on the WAEC website.

Your WAEC examination number is a fusion of two groups of numbers, namely, your WAEC center number and your seat number.

The center number is the first seven numbers of your WAEC examination number, which is followed by your seat number (also known as candidate number) as the last three numbers.

It must be noted that there is no way you can check your WAEC examination results without your examination number.


HOW TO RETRIEVE YOUR WAEC EXAMINATION NUMBER
If you have lost or forgotten your WAEC examination number, there is no need to panic because it can be retrieved. There are different ways and methods it can be retrieved.

1) Retrieval By Court Affidavit: [/b]You can go to a court of law to swear an affidavit for the loss of your examination number. In fact, you can also use this process for the loss of any other related WAEC document like WAEC certificate or photo card.

Next, you proceed to any WAEC office with the affidavit for the retrieval of your WAEC examination number. At the WAEC office, you will be asked to submit passport photographs too (usually in white or red background).
