On Thursday, 30 March, Umalusi held a webinar titled ‘Innovatively replacing your lost or damaged certificate issued by Umalusi’ to officially launch the newly implemented Online Application System for Replacement Certificates.
In a statement, Umalusi said candidates can access the system from anywhere (home or office) via a cellphone or personal computer to apply directly to Umalusi to replace their lost or damaged certificates.
“The new system has significantly reduced the turnaround time and costs involved in replacing a lost or damaged certificate. At a cost of R137.00 a candidate can collect a replacement certificate from Umalusi within 2 workings days of the application. Alternatively, a candidate can pay R202.00 (R137.00 for the certificate and R65.00 for courier fees)to have the certificate sent within 7 working days to their chosen physical address anywhere within the borders of South Africa,” said Umalusi’s Senior Manager: Public Relations and Communications, Biki Lepota.
The webinar was attended by officials from education stakeholder organisation in South Africa, Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) and Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
