The Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the Department of Examinations, has rolled out a convenient online service for the authentication of G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) and Advanced Level (A/L) exam certificates. This service is applicable to certificates issued from the year 2001 onwards.
Under this newly implemented online system, individuals can apply for the authentication of their O/L and A/L exam certificates through the Consular Affairs Division’s online platform, eliminating the need for in-person visits. Here are the steps for availing this service:
- Visit the official Examinations Department website and submit an online application for O/L and A/L examination certificates via the following link: https://certificate.doenets.lk/certificate.
- Upon certificate generation, applicants will receive a confirmation via SMS, including a unique reference number for each certificate along with a link.
- Once you receive the SMS confirmation, proceed to request authentication of the document from the Consular Affairs Division through this link: http://consular.mfa.gov.lk:90/.
- Pay the associated fees for certificate generation and authentication online, separately to both the Department of Examinations and the Consular Affairs Division, using the provided links.
For additional information, you can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the following telephone number: 011-2338812. This innovative service streamlines the process of certificate authentication, making it more accessible and efficient for individuals.
