The council said the Digital Certificate Services platform is a mobile and web-based application that provides enormous benefits to various stakeholders.
WAEC said, “It is designed to offer sample features that enable users to access, request, confirm, or share digital forms of the original certificates. Users can also recover lost WAEC examination numbers on the system.
“The system is reliable, the authenticity of the certificates is guaranteed, and the cost benefits to users cannot be overstated. Following its successful pilot in Nigeria, WAEC DigiCert received positive feedback from candidates and educational institutions worldwide.
“The general public and all stakeholders are advised to use WAEC DigiCert to avoid administrative challenges and bottlenecks associated with manual certificate issuance and collection.
“The Council wishes to assure the general public that the usual printing and issuance of certificates will not be affected by this innovation.
The Mobile App can be downloaded on the App Store or the Play Store for iOS and Android devices, respectively. For more information, visit www.waec.org or our official social media accounts @WAECDigicert.”
