How to Access Your 2024 WASSCE Digital Certificate on WAEC’s Platform

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has simplified the process for obtaining the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) certificate through its digital platform. This new system allows candidates to access and share their certificates online, making it easier to submit them to educational institutions worldwide.

To access their digital certificates, candidates should follow these steps:

1. Visit the WAEC website at: https://www.waec.org/
2. Click on the “Access Certificate” link.
3. Enter your email address and password.
4. Use your National Identification Number (NIN), Bank Verification Number (BVN), or international passport number for identity verification.

Candidates who need to verify their identity but do not have a NIN or BVN can generate a Virtual National Identification Number (VNIN) by dialing *346*3*NIN*696739# on their registered phone number.

The WAEC Digital Certificate Platform, which launched in October 2022 under the leadership of Patrick Areghan, offers a secure solution for over 30 million certificate holders. It helps address issues related to lost, damaged, or burnt certificates. The platform allows users to access, confirm, and share their certificates in real time, ensuring authenticity.

Accessible via both web and mobile devices, the platform provides a seamless experience for users. It is particularly useful for recovering certificates issued from 1999 onward. In addition to generating and downloading certificates, users can securely share them with institutions and organizations. The platform also offers features to help candidates recover forgotten or lost examination numbers.
