Did you know? A lost examination certificate does not necessarily mean your results are lost. Start with SEAB’s Past Years’ Results in Digital Form page. It explains how to retrieve supported PSLE and GCE records through MySkillsFuture, and where to enquire when your record needs another route.
SEAB states that lost result slips and examination certificates are not replaced. Its digital-results page provides a year-by-year coverage table, Singpass access instructions and a request route for people without Singpass or whose examination identification number differs. Find your examination and year in that table before expecting the record to appear.
Your next step is to retrieve the available official record and ask the university, employer or school which format it accepts. Preserve the original digital file for verification. If you need SEAB’s assisted retrieval service, check its current conditions: the page announces an administrative fee of S$16 per examination and examination year requested from 1 January 2027.

Choose the record you actually need
Write down the qualification name and examination year before opening an application checklist. A school report, a national examination result and a university transcript answer different questions. If a form asks for final national results, uploading a recent school report may leave the requirement unresolved.
For a university application, also check whether the institution requests all sittings or a particular qualification. Keep separately labelled records rather than merging grades into a homemade summary. An accurate record of each sitting makes follow-up questions much easier to handle.
Follow the route for your identity record
Use the retrieval instructions linked from SEAB rather than a third-party promise to find certificates. If the examination was taken under a different identification number, follow the assisted request route and supply only the information requested through the official channel.
Before starting, gather the old examination year and school name if known. If a record is absent, describe what you searched and what you found. Do not create another account or alter personal details merely to make a result appear; ask the responsible service how to reconcile the record.
Check what the receiving institution accepts
A useful question to an admissions office is: “I can retrieve an official digital result for this qualification. Which file, verification or delivery method do you require?” This resolves the practical submission task without assuming every institution treats every format identically.
Keep a copy of the answer with your application checklist. If a portal accepts only a particular upload format, ask how to provide the original verifiable record alongside it. Avoid editing marks, dates or identifying fields in any result document.
Preserve the evidence and allow retrieval time
Store the downloaded original securely, and give each file a clear examination-and-year label. Keep the application upload confirmation separately, so you can distinguish retrieving a result from successfully supplying it to the recipient.
For records outside the published coverage table, use the route SEAB identifies rather than assume the online system is incomplete. Read the page again when applying in a later year, particularly where assisted-service charges or instructions have changed.
