Anyone collecting certificates must bring ID to prove who they are.
Don’t wait until it’s too late
We get calls every year from students who left 5-10 years ago who suddenly need their certificates for the first time. It costs around £40-£50 per exam board for a certified statement of results if you don’t have your certificates (see gov.uk/replacement-exam-certificate for further information).
Lost certificates
If you have lost your certificates we may be able to provide a statement of results. If you attended Darlaston Comprehensive we do not hold these records. For certified proof of results please follow this link for advice: https://www.gov.uk/replacement-exam-certificate
Please keep your certificates safely – you will need them throughout your career.
