Apply for a certified statement of results to replace a lost CCEA certificate
CCEA can provide a certified statement of results for its general qualifications (i.e. GCSE and GCE), and its vocational qualifications (i.e. Key Skills, Occupational Studies, Vocational Qualifications, Entry Level Qualifications and OLA). This service is available for certificates awarded from 1963 to present.

CCEA accepts applications made via email. If you wish to apply for a certified statement of results, we require the following:
- A completed application form;
- Two scanned copies of identification (at least one must be photographic);
- If your name has changed since you sat your examinations you must also include scanned copies of one of the following:
- Marriage certificate;
- Deed poll; or
- Decree absolute and birth certificate.
How much does this service cost?
The fee for this service is:
- £30 for one certified statement of results
- £10 for each additional certified statement of results
Each certified statement will cover all subjects at one level in one exam season (e.g. all GCSEs sat in Summer 2005).
