WAEC Launches Digital Certificate Service in Nigeria and Four Other Countries
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has rolled out its **Digital Certificate Services System**, called **WAEC DigiCert**, in Nigeria and across its four other member countries — Ghana, The Gambia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. This new platform allows former and current candidates to access their WAEC certificates digitally without having to rely solely on physical documents.
Quick Insight: The service works via a mobile and web application, giving students and institutions a more modern, convenient way to access, request, confirm, or share certified academic credentials securely online.
How the Digital Service Works
WAEC DigiCert offers users the ability to view and download digital versions of original WAEC certificates anytime. It also lets candidates **recover lost WAEC exam numbers**, which can be a big help if the original registration information has been misplaced.
Benefits for Students and Institutions
Students, schools, employers, and overseas education institutions can now confirm the authenticity of WAEC certificates instantly online. This reduces delays that often happen when waiting for physical certificates to be mailed or manually verified.
Modernising Examination Services
By introducing digital certificates, WAEC aims to keep up with technological trends and improve public confidence in the reliability and security of academic records. This system marks an important step toward fully modernising education services in West Africa.
Final Thoughts
WAEC’s Digital Certificate Services System makes it easier for millions of exam candidates to access and share their academic credentials quickly and securely. This can especially benefit students seeking admission abroad or needing reliable verification of their qualifications.
Tip: Once you register on WAEC DigiCert, you can save and share digital copies of your certificate anytime — this helps reduce the risk of losing your physical document.
