The National Examinations Council (NECO) has officially announced a ₦50,000 fee for the reprinting of certificates. This move affects all candidates who need to reprint their lost or damaged certificates. In this article, we will provide you with the complete details, including deadlines for certificate requests and result corrections.

Key Information:

  • Fee for Certificate Reprint: ₦50,000 (subject to review)
  • Reprint Request Deadline: One year from the date of certificate issuance
  • Correction of Results Deadline: One month from result release
  • Official Updates: Candidates should stay informed via NECO’s official channels

NECO Announces New Certificate Reprint Fee

In a recent development, NECO has implemented a fee of ₦50,000 for the reprinting of examination certificates. This was confirmed by the Registrar of NECO, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, during a briefing in Minna, Niger State. The newly introduced fee covers requests for reprints of original certificates for those who have either lost their certificates or need them reissued for any reason. NECO has also clarified that the ₦50,000 charge is subject to periodic reviews and adjustments depending on the circumstances.

Important Deadlines to Note for NECO Certificate Reprints

Candidates seeking to reprint their NECO certificates should take careful note of the newly established deadlines. NECO has introduced a strict one-year window for reprint requests. This means that candidates must request a certificate reprint within one year from the date the original certificate was issued. Once this window passes, NECO will no longer accept applications for certificate reprints. Missing this deadline may result in candidates being unable to recover their original certificates.

Correction of Results: One-Month Timeframe

For those who have identified errors or need corrections on their NECO results, it is critical to act promptly. NECO has instituted a one-month deadline for the correction of errors. Candidates who need any alterations to their results must submit their requests within this one-month period to avoid issues. After this period, no further corrections will be entertained by NECO, making it essential to check your results immediately after release and report any discrepancies.

Stay Updated via Official NECO Channels

Candidates are advised to keep themselves updated through NECO’s official platforms to ensure they do not miss important announcements or changes to policies. Regularly checking NECO’s website and other communication channels is highly recommended, especially for updates concerning fees, deadlines, and other examination-related matters.


By adhering to these deadlines and staying informed, candidates can avoid any unnecessary issues with certificate reprints or result corrections.
