This service is specifically designed for unitised qualifications (legacy general and Cambridge Nationals); it does not apply to the new reformed AS and A Levels and GCSE (9–1).

Late certifications are not available after the agreed deadlines. After these dates, you need to submit requests in the next available series, unless the terminal rule applies (in which case, please contact us).

What is late certification?

Following the release of unit results, if you have not previously made a certification entry for a particular qualification, you can make a late request, which is known as a late certification.

This is a free service, with the exception of GCSE Short Courses, for which a certification entry fee is made (see our fees list for details).

How to apply for late certification

All late certification requests should be made via Interchange. To submit your request:

  1. Log in to Interchange, hover over ‘Post results’ in the left-hand menu and click on ‘Late certification’.
  2. Click ‘Submit late certification requests’.

  3. Enter the entry code or qualification name for the qualification for which you wish to make a request and select the qualification you need.
  4. You will see a list of all eligible candidates. Select your candidates and then click ‘Add selected’ or ‘Add all’. 

  5. You can add more requests for different qualifications by returning to the search criteria at the top of the page and selecting the next qualification.
  6. When you are ready to submit your request, confirm your address for the email notification and then click on ‘Submit late certification requests’.

  7. We will send you an automated email when results become available to view online. 
  8. To view the outcomes of your request, log in to Interchange and return to the late certification area. You will see a list of all previous claims made in the last year. When results are available, you will be able to see the grade awarded on the screen.
  9. It is then possible to download an updated statement of results. 
  10. Updated EDI results files are also produced weekly throughout the results period.
