• I have lost/damaged my examination certificate, how can I obtain a replacement?
• CIE cannot issue a replacement certificate for security reasons. However, we do issue a Certifying Statement of past examination results which will be accepted by Universities and other institutions as proof of examination results.
  
  For an explanation of what to do before we can send a certifying statement of your results directly to you, or to any public institution, please see the Certifying Statement Application Form (159kb).
  
  All applications will be dealt with within a maximum of six weeks of receiving correctly completed applications.
  
  If you wish to make use of the service please complete the application form and return it to the address on the second page of the form as soon as possible. Please enclose the correct fee as stated on the form.

• CIE will verify a candidate's results to third parties, i.e. University, Employer, but not directly to the candidate. Please complete and return the Certifying Statement Application Form (159kb) with a photocopy of the certificate and the appropriate fee.
  
  Applicants’ results are checked against our permanent record. The verification supplied is based wholly on that record.
