Certificate services
The Confirmation of Provisional Results is a service to provide official evidence of results before the certificate has been issued and is not instead of a certificate.
Confirmation of Provisional Results
We can send a copy of a candidate's academic provisional results directly to a university outside of the UK, from the official results date, before the certificate has been issued.
Before applying, please check that Pearson is the exam board holding the results.
Please contact the Examinations Officer at your centre for confirmation of the results date for the qualification you require.
This service is only available for the below General Qualifications and exam series:
| Exam session | Qualification |
|---|---|
| October 2024 | International A Level |
| November 2024 | GCSE and International GCSE |
For all other series’, you will have already been issued with your official certificate. If you also need copies of results certificated in an earlier exam series, please submit a separate application via the replacement certificate service for these. This service is only for the above series. Any applications made for a previous series will be cancelled and a refund will be issued within 21 days.
You can apply for one qualification type per application, e.g. International A Level, AS/A Level or GCSE. Applications should be made by the candidate if possible, but we will also accept applications from other parties.
The document issued will be a Candidate Statement of Provisional Results (CSPR) which will list your qualification grades. Pearson will provide the results as they are on our systems at the time of processing your application.
- Results are provisional until certificates are issued and this is explained on the covering letter accompanying the CSPR.
If there is a review of marking and grades subsequently change, it will be the applicant’s responsibility to let the university know.
All identification documents must be in English, and your image/document format must be a JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF.
As we are issuing your results to a University, we will require a completed and signed consent form submitting on your application
If you are applying for confirmation of provisional results on your own behalf, we only require a form of identification that shows your full name and date of birth alongside the completed and signed consent form.
If you are someone that is applying on behalf of a learner (this includes family members), we will require the following documents from the learner: two forms of identification and a completed and signed consent form.
The first form of identification can be a:
- Passport
- Driver's licence
- Identity card
- Resident Permit (must show both front and back of card)
- Birth certificate
The additional form of identification can be a:
- Bank statement dated within the last 3 months
- Utility bill (not mobile phone bill) dated within the last 3 months
- A headed letter from your Doctor, GP or Hospital dated within the last 3 months
- Proof of Age card
Priority service is not available for Confirmation of Provisional Results. Applications will be processed in date order based on the date the application was submitted.
We offer two delivery methods for this service: email and hard copy. Before making your selection, you should contact your university to see which method they will accept.
If you require both PDF and hard copy delivery, please submit two separate applications.
Your results will not be sent to the University until after the results have been published on the relevant results day.
Before applying for a PDF copy, please ensure that the University you are applying for will accept a digital copy of your CSPR.
Due to data privacy, the only information we can include on the delivery label of your hard copy Confirmation of Provisional Results is a student/university reference number. Please include your reference number in the additional information when submitting your application if you would like this to be included.
We can send the results to a maximum of two university addresses outside the UK (per application).
- Hard Copy - confirmation of Provisional Results to universities (hard copy) - £77
- PDF - confirmation of Provisional Results to universities (email) - £31
If you apply for the incorrect service for the document you require, we will cancel your application and issue a refund.
