The Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in partnership with the Department of Examinations has launched an online service for the authentication of GCE Ordinary Level (O/L) & Advanced Level (A/L) examinations certificates issued by the Department of Examinations of Sri Lanka.
The online authentication services are accessible for GCE O/L & A/L certificates which were issued from the year 2001 onwards.
Under the new online system, individuals could apply for authentication of GCE O/L & A/L certificates through the Consular Affairs Division’s online platform. It is no longer required for applicants to visit the Consular Affairs Division in person to apply and collect the authenticated certificates.
Steps to be followed for the online authentication of GCE O/L & A/L certificates are as follows:
Step 1: Visit the official website of the Department of Examinations and submit an online application for GCE O/L & A/L examination certificates through link: https://certificate.doenets.lk/certificate
Step 2: After the certificate is generated, applicants will receive a confirmation by SMS containing a unique reference number for each certificate along with the link
Step 3: Once the SMS confirmation is received, applicants can proceed to request the Consular Affairs Division for authentication of the document through the link: http://consular.mfa.gov.lk:90/
Fees associated with the certificate generation and authentication should be paid online to both the Department of Examinations and the Consular Affairs Division individually by using each link provided above.
