What Can I Do if I Lost My Migration Certificate of 12th Grade?

Losing a migration certificate, especially one from your 12th grade, can be a stressful experience. However, there are several steps you can take to obtain a duplicate and continue with important processes. This guide will walk you through the process and provide additional options, including the use of DigiLocker.

Steps to Obtain a Duplicate Migration Certificate

Contact Your School/College

The first step is to reach out to the school or college that issued your migration certificate. They may have records and can guide you on the process for obtaining a duplicate. Reach out to the administrative office to express your situation and request assistance.

Most institutions have a formal process for applying for a duplicate migration certificate. Ensure you gather all necessary documents and fill out the application form as requested.

Provide Necessary Documents

When applying for a duplicate, be prepared to submit the following documents:

A copy of your lost certificate if available A copy of your mark sheet or other academic records Identification proof such as an Aadhar card, passport, or driving license A police report, sometimes required to report the loss

These documents will help verify your identity and the fact that the original certificate was lost.

Pay Fees

There may be a fee associated with issuing a duplicate certificate. Check with your institution for the exact amount. Some institutions may require a processing fee, which you can pay in person or online.

After submitting your application, it is important to follow up with the institution to ensure that your request is being processed. Keep track of the status of your application and maintain communication with the school.

Check with Educational Board

If your school is unable to provide a duplicate or is unable to process your application, you can contact the educational board or council under which your school operates. They may have a procedure for issuing duplicate migration certificates.

Keep Records

Keep a copy of your application and any correspondence for your records. This will help you in case you need to refer to the documents in the future.

Additional Option: Obtain a Digital Copy Using DigiLocker
