Results services for universities

We release exam results worldwide in January (following the November exam series) and August (June exam series). In India, we hold an extra exam series in March and release results in May.

Results verification services

We offer two services for universities to help you verify candidates’ exam results quickly.

Online results verification service

Universities and other academic organisations can apply for free access to our secure website, Cambridge International Direct, to view and verify students’ results online using their statement of results or results certificate. Results are available for the previous five years.

You can find out how to verify results on Direct by reading our user guide for universities or watching our step-by-step video below. Please note that you will need to know the students' Cambridge centre number, candidate number, date of birth and the relevant exam series in order to view the results.

Apply for access to Direct

Third party verification of results

For results older than five years, which cannot be verified on Direct, Higher education institutions and Cambridge students can complete the Verification of Results Application Form (PDF, 578KB) and return it to us with a copy of the certificate to be verified when the result is unable to be verified on Direct.

Additionally, prospective employers, educations results verification agencies such as WES or ICAS and employment screening agencies can apply for this service.

The result of each applicant is checked against our permanent record and the verification supplied is based wholly on that record. We will email a PDF confirmation of results to a single contact name and email address only. We are unable to send this information directly to students. A fee per certificate per student will be charged for this service, which is included on the form.

Results documentation

Statement of results

On the day of results release students worldwide receive an electronic statement of results from their school which they could submit if required by the university they are applying to. Universities can verify these results using Cambridge International Direct.

Priority results

We can send a candidate’s results directly to a particular institution on the day they are released. Candidates need to apply to us and pay for this priority results service by completing the 'Results and certificates - form 9 (PDF, 1MB)'.

A few months before we release exam results, we will notify institutions about how to receive priority results. If your institution is registered to use Direct, we will automatically send priority results to the ‘My Messages’ section of your account, unless you opt to receive hard copy results.

Certification

We send certificates to schools up to eight weeks after results are released. This is to allow time for us to resolve any enquiries about results. The certificates confirm the candidates’ results as final.

You can view samples of our current results certificates and statements of results on our website, as well as past examples.

Certifying Statements

Our Results team can provide certifying statements to students who have lost their certificates, which shows the subject taken and the grade awarded. Information on how students can apply for this service is available on our Certificates page. They can ask us to send their certifying statement directly to any public institution.
