Users, the regional examiner organization states, can also recover lost WAEC examination numbers on the system. "The system is reliable, the authenticity of the certificates is guaranteed, and the cost benefits to users cannot be overstated," WAEC Liberia restated headquarters' message.

Following its successful pilot in Nigeria where the headquarters of the Council is, WAEC DigiCert received positive feedback from candidates and educational institutions worldwide.

The general public and all stakeholders, WAEC-Liberia noted, are advised to use WAEC DigiCert to avoid administrative challenges and bottlenecks associated with manual certificate issuance and collection. "The Council wishes to assure the general public that the usual printing and issuance of certificates will not be affected by this innovation."
