Recently, I’ve come across several people who forgot their WAEC registration number. If you are one of such people, I’m happy to let you know that you can retrieve it for free.

Once you acquire WAEC result, you can use it for life. However, if you forget your examination number, and maybe also lost your certificate, then you have to retrieve it back.

You may guess several times and end up never coming up with the correct one.

This may result to you purchasing WAEC ePIN several times and end up displaying result for someone else.

How to retrieve your WAEC exam number for Free

• Send an email to [email protected] saying you wish to retrieve your forgotten WAEC examination number.
• In the email, provide your full name, examination year and type, gender and other information that will be used to confirm you really sat for WASSCE that year.
• Wait for feedback from the customer support. You should get it within 48 hours, depending on the number of people on queue waiting for support.

Alternatively, visit any WAEC zonal office nationwide and tell them you forgot your registration number.

They will also demand for your full name, examination centre and year in which you wrote WASSCE.

Your full name must be in line with what you used during WAEC registration.

The examination centre is the name of the school where you wrote the exam. If peradventure, the school no longer exists or has been modified to a new name, you don’t have to switch to the new name. Just use the name as it was when you registered.

When we say type of exam, we mean May/June or November/December. Ensure you specify the one you sat for in the email.

If you are able to provide all that, then fetching your examination number will be no issue at all.

Important notice: your exam number is exactly the same with that of several other candidates. Therefore, the only way to know the one unique to you is by knowing the year in which you wrote WAEC.

We are sure you remember the year you wrote SSCE. People seldom forget that.
