Getting copies of exam certificates
Please note that the information below applies to O level, CSE, GCSE and A level certificates only. For all other qualification types the awarding body concerned may issue a replacement certificate, at their discretion, on request.
Ofqual does not hold records of students' individual awards nor does it retain any copies of past certificates. To obtain an official record of your past results you should contact the relevant awarding bodies.
Please note that awarding bodies will not issue a replacement certificate but will issue a Certifying Statement of Results or a letter of confirmation of results, which will be recognised by educational institutions, professional bodies and prospective employers.
There are now five main awarding bodies for these qualifications operating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Please consult the list below to see who may now have a copy of your past O level, CSE, GCSE or A level results:
