Quick summary

  • CXC board fee: US$105 per certificate (international bank draft payable to the Caribbean Examinations Council) — OEC Jamaica.
  • OEC local service charge: J$4,560.
  • Form must be signed by a lawyer, minister of religion or Justice of the Peace who is not a relative.
  • Processing: about 2–3 months via OEC. CXC also accepts online orders directly at cxc.org (US$105, ~3 weeks per CXC).

Option A: Order directly from CXC online

CXC's own replacement order form (cxc.org) lets you request a replacement without visiting Jamaica. Have your candidate number, centre, year and sitting.

Option B: Through OEC Jamaica (Kingston or Montego Bay)

  1. Buy an international bank draft for US$105 per certificate payable to the Caribbean Examinations Council.
  2. Complete the OEC CXC Replacement Certificate Form (overseasexams.org.jm) and have it signed by a lawyer, JP or minister — not a relative.
  3. Bring birth certificate or passport and any damaged certificate.
  4. Pay the J$4,560 local service charge at the office.
  5. Wait roughly 2–3 months.

From abroad, OEC's process is in person, so most people send a trusted relative or a runner with an authorization letter and copies of ID — call OEC (876-618-3721) first to confirm they will accept an agent.
