Replacement Certificates
Many employers & universities are insisting on seeing actual certificates for your qualifications.
If you have lost your certificates, you will need to complete an application form for each exam board and pay them directly. Each form will outline the cost involved but it is usually around £50 per certificate.
An alternative is to request a certified statement of results, but employers and/or universities may not be willing to accept them, so it is advisable to check first.
To apply for a replacement certificate or certified statement of results, simply visit the below web pages, depending on which exam board the subject was with, and follow their instructions for requesting replacement certificates.

Enquiries About Results
Service 1: Clerical Re-check
This service constitutes a re-check of all clerical procedures which lead to the issue of a result. This service may be considered when anomalous results have been issued for one candidate, compared to the rest of the cohort.
This service includes the following checks:
- all parts of the script have been marked
- the totalling of marks
- the recording of marks
Candidates’ grades/uniform mark score (UMS) can go up or down.
The examination boards aim to complete the enquiry within 10 days.
Service 2: Review of Marking
This is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. It is not a re-marking of the candidate’s script.
The awarding body will have trained its reviewers to conduct reviews of marking accurately and consistently. Reviewers will not re-mark the script.
This service will include:
- the clerical re-check detailed in Service 1
- a review of marking as described above
Candidates’ grades/uniform mark score (UMS) can go up or down.
The examination boards aim to complete the enquiry within 20 days of acknowledging the request.
Priority Service 2 - Review of Marking
This is a priority review of marking:
- the enquiry must relate to a GCE
- a candidate’s place in further/higher education depends on the outcome
All applications not meeting the above criteria will be treated as normal Service 2 requests.
Candidates’ grades/uniform mark score (UMS) can go up or down.
The examination boards aim to complete the enquiry within 15 days of receiving the request.
Access to Scripts (ATS)
Where possible, the ATS service is available for all GCE, AEA and GCSE externally assessed components. Components excluded from this ATS service have a report service. Components may be excluded due to their ephemeral nature or due to other special characteristics.
- Awarding bodies cannot provide an original script for papers that were marked online.
- Once an original script has been returned to a centre, an EAR request cannot be carried out.
- Once an EAR Service 1 or 2 has been completed, original scripts are no longer available.
- Awarding bodies will provide centres with either a hard copy or an electronic image of the script.
- All scripts should be received by the school by the 13 November 2018
- Priority scripts should be received by the school by the 6 September 2018
Coursework
Coursework and practicals and NEAs cannot be reviewed. If you have any questions in relation to the grades, please speak to the relevant subject teacher.
Refunds
Refunds will only be issued if a re-mark leads to the change of an overall subject grade, not the unit.
