What if someone wants to change names on the KNEC certificates so as to tally with those on Birth certificate and ID card given that birth certificate became a mandatory requirement when like I had already sat for my KCPE ?
5,800 per certificate is alittle bit on the higher side.
5800/ is higher but better than never replacing

its in person
What if one does not have the photocopy of the original one?
How long will it take to get copies, is it within the same day of application??
