Introducing the WAEC Candidate Index Number Retrieval System
Forget complicated online processes or endless searching through old documents. WAEC offers a straightforward, albeit offline, service designed specifically to help you recover your forgotten index number. This means you’ll need to make a physical visit, but the process is clearly defined.
Here’s what you need to do:
-
Visit a WAEC Branch Office: Your first step is to head to any of the conveniently located WAEC branch offices. These offices serve as the central points for this retrieval service.
-
Complete a Form: Once you arrive, you’ll need to request and fill out a specific form dedicated to index number retrieval. This form will likely require you to provide some key details to help WAEC locate your record.
What Information Will You Need?
To ensure a smooth process, make sure you have the following information readily available:
- Your Full Name (as used during the examination): This is crucial for accurate identification. Remember the exact way your name was registered for the exams.
- The Name, Month, and Year of Examination: Pinpointing the specific examination you sat for is essential. Recall the name of the exam (e.g., May/June WASSCE, November/December WASSCE, BECE), the month it was conducted, and the exact year.
- A Valid National Identification Document: You will need to present a valid form of national ID for verification purposes. This could be your National ID card, Voter’s ID, Passport, or any other officially recognized identification document.
Important Note on Fees:
Please be aware that this service comes with a fee of GH¢00.00. It’s important to note that this amount is subject to review by the council, so it’s always a good idea to confirm the current fee when you visit the WAEC office.
