I've covered a series of guides on WAEC. My "WAEC: 13 Answers to Students' Questions on West African Examination Council" is one of the best resources to get answers to more than a dozen issues you may be finding answers to on the West African Examination Council exams.
Mr. President is one of the candidates who we categorized as those who have lost their WAEC results to misplacement, stealing, damaging, burning, etc
Whatever the reasons for not having permanent access to your WAEC result - be it WAEC Internal (May/June) or External (Nov/Dec, Aug/Sept, Jan/Feb Series), below is a guide to get another one.
But, this time it's not a copy of the certificate or original WAEC result. What they will give you is called "Attestation of Results"
You will have to approach the body’s office in any state across the nation. That is, the WAEC office situated in the state where the exam was held would be responsible to prepare your Attestation of Result and hand it over to you.

Your list of subjects and grades will be available on both (except F9s) that will not appear on the Attestation of Result.
By difference, the Certificate will display the candidate’s photo as used during the exams - be it, private candidate exams/result, or school candidate exams/results.
Attestation will, whereas, display the passport photo recently submitted while applying to collect it.
The heading of WAEC Certificate will read such, "West African Senior School Certificate" whereas Attestation will appear on the latter.
WAEC has disclosed that “Candidates are to note that, with effect from WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2017, request for the printing of certificates will be done electronically via https://certrequest.waec.ng/.”
Visit the website to see if the service is currently available.
Also, note that only candidates for WAEC GCE 2017 henceforth will have access to this online Certificate printing. And this doesn't mean you can print it yourself. Rather you can only go online instead of their offices, and request WAEC to print it and get it delivered to your specified address.
For the years before, the physical presence of a candidate will be needed to collect WAEC (GCE) Certificate at the WAEC office of choice. This means the same is applicable to the Attestation of the Result.
For WAEC (Internal) May/June, a candidate must return to the school of the exams. Yours should be with the exams officer of the school within two years after the exams.
School candidates do not have to visit WAEC offices.
But he will approach the exam body’s office for the Attestation of Result instead of the school of exams.
Difference between Original WAEC certificate and Attestation of Result
Practically, for application, job, official, and other purposes, they are the same. In other words, the Attestation of Results is widely accepted for any purposes you will need your original Certificate or Result for.Your list of subjects and grades will be available on both (except F9s) that will not appear on the Attestation of Result.
