Check your ZIMSEC results
ZIMSEC puts results online for only a few days after it releases them. In 2026 it was five days for O and A Level, and in 2025 it was four days for Grade 7. After that, get them from your school or exam centre.

Steps
- When ZIMSEC announces the results, check them on the results portal straight away. Each time, ZIMSEC says how many days the portal will stay open.
- Once the portal closes, get your results from your school or exam centre.
- If you lose your certificate, apply to ZIMSEC for a Certifying Statement of your results.
- If an employer or college in Zimbabwe needs proof of your results, apply for a Confirmation of Results. Fill in ZIMSEC's form. The employer or college fills in its own section. Pay US$7 per exam sitting. Then hand the form in at any ZIMSEC office, or email it to Email confirmation@zimsec.co.zw. ZIMSEC sends the confirmation straight to them within 3 working days.
Good to know
- ZIMSEC confirms O-Level and A-Level results. ZIMCHE checks degrees and diplomas.
- The confirmation costs US$10 more if you don't know your centre and candidate numbers. ZIMSEC only confirms results once certificates have been issued. Before then, ask ZIMSEC to authenticate your provisional results slip.
- For employers or bodies outside Zimbabwe, such as SAQA, use ZIMSEC's Qualification Verification instead. It costs US$60 per sitting within Africa and US$80 outside Africa.
