Certificates, certifying statements, verification of results

We send you your certificates after provisional results are released. This is to allow time for us to resolve any enquiries about results. The certificates confirm candidates' results as final.

Candidates can apply to us if they would like their results to be verified or for a certifying statement (an official document from us to show the grades they achieved in a particular exam series).

If you are paying by credit or debit card, you can apply for certifying statements online instead of using 'Results and certificates - Form 7.'

Priority results information

If a candidate needs their provisional results to be sent straight to a particular institution, they can complete and send us Results and certificates - form 9 (PDF, 205KB). We will send the provisional statement of results to their chosen educational institution on the day that results are released.

Results are produced using the name given for the candidate at the time of their exam. 

Results for group awards

You need to be aware of the grading system for group awards so you can answer queries from your candidates when they see their statements of results. See the relevant sections of the Cambridge Guide to Making Entries for more information on Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE) and Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE). The Cambridge Guide to Making Entries is available to download from the 'Support Materials' section of >Direct.
