Your academic certificates are not just pieces of paper; they symbolise your hard work, dedication, and achievements.

However, the unfortunate loss or damage of these vital documents can present significant hurdles in your educational and career pursuits.

Fortunately, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has streamlined the process for replacing lost or damaged certificates, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for applicants.

Replacing lost or damaged KNEC certificates has been made hassle-free, thanks to KNEC's online portal, the Query Management Information System (QMIS).

Through this platform, applicants can initiate the certificate replacement process from the comfort of their homes.
