Directly from Your School
Once you have completed your SPM examination, the easiest way to receive your Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia is to go to the school where you qualified. This method is the most convenient and at no extra charge, ensuring you will get the certificate as soon as they are released. Normally, schools receive the SPM Certificates some three to four months after the announcement of the examination results. For example, if results are rezised in the month of March, your certificates present day will be June to July. So it is best to stop by your old school and visit the administration and speak to the principal or the secretary. You should bring your IC to the school you were studying at.
Since there is no postage fee to apply for SPM, the abundance is the best choice. However, remember to check the schedule for the collection dates of the school, because schools may have specified dates and times to collect certificates. On the other hand, if there is no such possibility, you can contact the above-mentioned person via phone call, while for the courier service you will be charged perhaps RM5 or RM10 depending on the location of your home .
As my point of view, with lower cost and time effectiveness, we do not need to spend much money to use courier. Also, if your time is tight and you need to get a SPM Certificate urgently, going to the school is a better option because for the candidates who want to receive SPM reprint, they might have to wait weeks or even months after processing thousands of students received from the candidate from the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate .
Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (MES)
When it comes to SPM certificate, the primary source is always the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate . They are the responsible body for the certificate issue and they are known for providing the service of either acquiring your original certificate or requesting a replacement if you are no longer in possession of your original. The first thing to do is to fill the form provided on their official website . It requires you to provide your personal details according to your identity card and any proof that you sat for the SPM exam. This might be in the form of a copy of your exam slip or personal identification number . The charge approximately sums up to RM 50. This fee is charged due to the administrative cost of processing your application and an additional cost if a duplicate certificate needs to be produced. This certificate can be issued after a period of four to six weeks from the application day, assuming no problem is encountered. This is far longer than the few minutes it will take for you to show up at your school and collect the certificate from them.
Many students find themselves in a situation where they have to balance the cost in terms of money with time. It is also the only option especially if there are no records left in the school and one had sat the exam some years back. Applying for the certificate through MES is a great idea since the time and money you use as transport will gain you another certificate. It is evident that the main reasons why students call Malaysian Examinations Syndicate for their certificates are either they are trying not to be late in their job application or they are trying to avoid their job offer getting revoked. A call to the company via their customer service number or even through an email will gladly shed some light on what is required, and all the needed forms will be sent to you. The portal also provides additional information to see you through your submission. This information includes the mode of payment, required documents, and what you will do when it comes to a mishappening when your educational certificates are lost, damaged or even stolen.
Online Application
For people who want to receive their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia certificate in a modern and convenient way, an online application might be a reasonable choice. It can be especially beneficial for those who relocated from their schools or the nearby offices of the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate . First, I would guide them through the process by telling them to visit the MES official website where they should find an application form for requesting their certificate after passing the SPM examination . Then, I would provide them with the following text so that they could apply for it.
To apply, you should first input your personal details, including you names, MyKad number, and the year you sat for the examination . The application requires you to upload your identification card and a copy of you SPM examination slip. At the moment, the cost of online application is RM 50, the same as applying in person through MES but not having to spend time traveling.
The processing time, which differs little from going directly through MES for your SPM examination certificate and costs the same, is estimated at four to six weeks. This application might prove to be particularly beneficial for those who need an SPM certificate urgently for a job application or enrollment in a college because it saves travel time, which is a noteworthy aspect of the process. The travel expenses, however, remain the same. For many people who find it challenging to travel because of the distance, the application seems to offer a viable option, even though the cost and processing times are not different.
