DESCRIPTION:
What happens if you lose your Senior (Matric) Certificate? You can get a duplicate Senior Certificate from the Western Cape Education Department, if you wrote your examination in the Western Cape.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The first step is to make an affidavit saying you have lost your certificate. An affidavit is a document in which you state facts to your knowledge under oath.

You can make an affidavit stating you have lost your certificate at any Police Station or you can ask any Commissioner of Oaths (attorneys are Commissioners of Oaths) to help you make the affidavit.
