The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has unveiled a simpler way on how Kenyans with missing Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates can apply for a replacement.
In the latest developments, Kenyans with lost certificates will be able to make applications online, defying the traditional trend where one had to seek approval from various government offices.
According to KNEC, in the application process one will be required to provide some critical documents before paying a processing fee of Sh5,220.
The documents required for the exercise include copy of the lost certificate/Result slip (MANDATORY), Copy of Identity Card (ID), passport size photo, and police abstract.
