Mitihani House Location and How to Replace Lost KCSE and KCPE Certificates

You might have lost your KCSE or KCPE certificate, that vital document that proves to the world that you are a learned fellow, and you do not know how to get a replacement, then this is the place to be. Again if you want to know the location of Mitihani House or KNEC Offices, this is the place to be. The word Mitihani is a Swahili word for Exams.

Apart from replacing your lost certificates, you can also be able to check for your KCPE and KCSE exam results from their website.

Having been established on 1st August, 1980, The Kenya National Examinations Council is responsible for testing and assessing private and public schools making sure they are providing nationally and internationally acceptable certification standards.

It is possible to replace your lost KCSE/KCPE certificates without a physical visit to Mitihani house except when going for it.
