The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially launched its Digital Certificate Services System, WAEC DigiCert, across all five member countries. The announcement was made by Demianus Ojijeogu, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC Headquarters in Accra, Ghana, on behalf of the Registrar. The countries covered include Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.

The WAEC DigiCert platform is a mobile and web-based application that allows candidates to access digital copies of their certificates easily. Through the system, users can request, confirm, and securely share their certificates with institutions worldwide, making it convenient for further studies, employment, or verification purposes.

Ojijeogu highlighted that the platform also helps candidates recover lost WAEC examination numbers while guaranteeing authenticity. The system offers cost savings and reduces delays linked with the traditional manual process of certificate collection and verification.

While introducing the digital service, WAEC assured the public that the issuance of physical certificates would continue. Citizens are encouraged to download the DigiCert mobile app or visit WAEC’s official website and social media platforms to learn more about accessing and using the service.
