Replace your LCME certificate

How to get a replacement certificate

This page provides information on what to do if your LCME certificate is damaged, lost, or has a mistake that needs correcting.

Certificate information

Please take a moment to check that all the details on your certificate are accurate. You have three (3) months from the end of your exam session to let us know about issues, which could include:

  • Typos, like mistakes in your name, instrument, or grades
  • Printing errors
  • Not receiving your certificate at all

After this three-month period, a £20 fee will apply for any queries or replacement requests regarding your certificate.

Reporting deadlines based on exam sessions

  • For exams taken January-April: Report by the end of July
  • For exams taken May-August: Report by the end of November
  • For exams taken September-December: Report by the end of March
  • For digital exams: Three months from the end of the month in which the result is issued

To avoid any charges for errors

  • Double-check your certificate to ensure everything is correct
  • If you spot any errors, please let us know right away - Contact Us (please select 'Certificates' in the category field) 

To prevent charges for not receiving your certificate

  • We strive to issue certificates within four (4) weeks of your exam. If it’s been longer than that and you still haven’t received yours, contact us (please select 'Certificates' in the category field) 

Please remember that if you contact us more than three months after your exam date, a £20 replacement certificate fee will be charged.
