Knec guidelines for replacing lost KCPE or KCSE certificates

The Kenya National Examinations Council [KNEC] started implementing policy in replacement of certificates for the affected candidates who sat for KNEC examinations from year 1981 on 2nd March 2009.

However Knec no longer issues duplicates certificates. What it issues is results confirmation which serves as a replacement for the lost certificates.

Previously Knec allowed a manual process of replacing certificates. The examiner has however now moved all the certificate replacement process to an online platform.

You can now easily replace your lost KCPE or KCSE certificate by following a simple online procedure that Knec released a year ago.

Below are the step by step guide on how to replace your lost KCPE or KCSE certificate online.
