Lost your SSC/HSC marksheet or passing certificate?

 If you live in Mumbai and have studied here, there are chances that sometimes, you may find that you've lost or misplaced your original documents and are unable to get them back. Especially your SSC or HSC marksheet or passing certificate, which are essential to prove that you have atleast cleared school and junior college.
So what do you do now? You can apply for a duplicate copy of your marksheet or passing certificate by going to the Maharashtra State Board's Mumbai office at Vashi, Navi Mumbai.

Address:

Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education
Mumbai division
Plot No.27 & 28,
Sector No.16 A,
Shivaji Chowk,
Opp. St Lawrence High School,
Vashi, Navi Mumbai - 4400703

Contact No: Mr. M.R. Kale
                    02227881077

What you need for application:

Marksheet: An application form, available for Rs.2 at the office
Passing certificate: Application form + a letter from the school/college (having the student's name, seat no. and year of passing) stating that the student has lost his passing certificate and should be allowed to get a duplicate copy

Charges: 

Normal: 

Rs. 100 for each marksheet/certificate less than 10 years old (issued after 15 days of application)
Rs. 200 for marksheets/certificates more than 10 years old (issued after 15 days of application)

Urgent: Rs. 200 (issued after 4 days of application)

If available, carry a xerox copy of the marksheet or certificate.
After you pay the charges, you will be given a receipt stating the details of your application.

Timings: 10.30 am to 3 pm (Saturday and Sunday closed)

What to do after reaching there: Go to counter no. 2 which is on first level. There are two separate queues for collecting the form and paying the money. Enquire at the counter (NOT with the people in the queue!) about the appropriate queue.

How to reach (from Mumbai suburbs):

Train: Borivali - Dadar - Thane - Vashi. If you have a Java enabled mobile phone or smartphone, download an app called 'm-Indicator' from http://m-indicator.mobond.com/ It contains the detailed train timings and schedule. It takes more than 2 hours to reach Vashi station from Borivali (assuming that you get all the trains on time) and a few minutes to reach Shivaji Chowk from the station by share auto.

Bus: There are normal as well as AC buses from Borivali and Santacruz that go to APMC market, Vashi which is almost the same as Shivaji Chowk. It takes 2 hours for the bus from Santacruz Depot to reach the spot. I do not have much idea about the others.

What to do after you applied: Go to the office again after the number of days specified in your receipt. The marksheet/certificate will be issued between 2.30 pm to 5 pm on working days.

How do I know all of this: Been there, done that! :P

Mail me if you need more help.

NEW: Please read the comments for the latest procedure and information.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oh. And is that required for marksheet as well? And can you provide details on the affidavit?

      Delete
  14. Incase a student has lost his mark-sheet and passing certificate, he needs to mention that he has lost both his mark sheet and passing certificate in the Affidavit, else they may create issues.

    Don't have a format for the Affidavit, though a format for the letter to be given to the school/ college is given below:

    Date: ________________
    Name: ________________
    Address: ________________
    ________________



    The Principal
    _____________ (Name of the School/ College)
    ______________(Address)

    Sub: Letter for issue of duplicate marksheet & passing certificate for Class X/ Class XII

    Dear Sir/ Madam,

    This has reference to my passing from your school/ college for class X/ XII in the academic year _________.

    In this regard, as required by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Examination, please issue me a letter for issue of duplicate mark sheet and passing certificate from the said Board.

    Request you to please do the needful.


    Thanking You,

    Yours faithfully,

    1. Hi there. Having your seat number is essential for the process. However, if you don't have that too, you can have a word with the Board officials. There will surely be some way to help you out. You can call them up and see if they address your problem, and if not, go there directly.

    1. No idea. You'll have to search on the internet regarding which board Sindhudurg falls into, and then accordingly search the address of the divisional board's office.

  17. I had been there today. The office is open monday to friday (except bank holidays) and is also open on the 1st and 3rd saturday of the month from 10.30am to 3pm. You have to go tou your school from which u passed ur ssc/hsc exam. Ask them to give u a letter to apply for the duplicate marksheet/passing certificate. It will be great if u have ur hall ticket xerox or school leaving certificate so that the school can process it quickly. My school charged me 25 rupees for issuing the letter. After getting the letter from the school, u need to go to an advocate/lawyer and ask them to make an affidavit on a 100 rupees stamp paper and make sure they mention ur name, residential address, reason for applying for a duplicate marksheet and the most important theing ur seat number which is mentioned on ur hallticket. These are the only two original documents required (letter from school and an affidavit) After u reach the board office in vashi, make sure u reach at 10.30am, they dont open the counter before that. Ask the watchman at the gate the way to counter no. 2, go to counter no. 2(b) first, ask them for the form, the charge is 2 rupees. Fill it up. and staple the form with the letter from school and the affidavit. (the staplers are hanged on the window grill of the counter no. 2) and then give it to the person on the counter no. 2 (a) (counter no. 2(a) and 2(b) are next to each other) Its ur choice of how many days u want to wait for the marksheet, if u want to wait 15 working days then pay 100 rupees, if u want the marksheet in 4 working days then pay 200 rupees. After paying, take the receipt from them and keep it safely. And then after 4 or 15 working days go and collect ur marksheet between 2.30-5pm. It is always better to keep a xerox of the school letter and affidavit for ur reference.

    5. Guys,

      First of all - thanks a lot Ameya for posting this extremely informative article (something that the board should have done ideally :) )

      Secondly, I have also lost my passing certificate, but I have my marksheet. My parents are hellbent upon getting a duplicate, but I do not understand why! I am working now and has never needed the passing certificate. If you can name some instances where the passing certificate is useful/required - It would be extremely helpful. Otherwise I will not apply for a duplicate.

      Thanks :) - Sairam S

      Delete
    6. Hi Sairam,

      Well, you might need the passing certificate if you go for a post graduation course. Also, in case of corporate sector, some companies have policies where they demand the passing certificate. Its better to have it in advance, otherwise you might face trouble at the last moment.

  19. Hi Ameya,

    I have gone through you post and the comments.. Its really helpful..Just few questions ... 1) In all this, there is no need to go to the University of Mumbai, right ??
    2) And is there any way I can get the telephone no of the Vashi office. I stay at Andheri and want to ensure that I take all the possible relevant docs and not make a 2nd trip...
    3) Also, where will I find the affidavit copy ?? Will the school provide that or would any lawyer have it ? Please let me know. Thanks.

    1. Thank you Malika :)

      2) I've posted the telephone number. You can also find more here:

      http://www.msbshse.ac.in/newsite/newhome.html

      in row number 5.
      3) I do not have much information about the affidavit, but you can inquire with your school, they'll help you regarding this.

      Delete
    2. You must go to ur school/college first and ask them to give u in writing that u have passed from their institute and that u have misplaced and require a duplicate copy. If possible take ur hallticket as that has all the information of u, ur seat number etc. Then after taking the letter from school u need to go to an advocate and ask him to make an affidavit on a stamp paper with all the details mentioned in the letter by school/college. keep a xerox of affidavit and school letter for ur reference and submit the originals at the vashi office.

  21. Hi,

    My case is a bit different. I had submitted my HSC marksheet in college in 2003 and had to unfortunately leave the college due to personal reasons. I have now decided to go ahead and complete my education. Do you think that the college may still have my marksheet with them as I have heard that they have to keep the marksheet for 10 years as per the law.

    Kindly let me know if you are aware of this process as it will help me greatly.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well, I'm not aware of this, and 2003 is quite long ago. But, if you still live in the same city, you can try your luck. Else, you always have the option of getting a duplicate marksheet.

    2. Hey Ameya, thanks for posting your blog which has been instrumental in helping all. In my case, I went to my college, submitted an application on saturday,the person at the counter told me to come on Monday-Tuesday. I knew it won't happen on Monday so went on Tuesday. The guy asked me to sign a register, then gave me my marksheet and passing certificate so am really happy. :)

      Now, any idea if I wish to pursue graduation, do I need any other documents from the college before enrolling in distance education??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Its true that you need the seat number for both marksheet and passing certificate. Go to your school or college and ask if they have any record about that. As records are computerized now-a-days, there is a chance that they might have this entry.

      Also, in case it hasn't been too many years since you passed, they might even have the xerox copies of your marksheet or certificate which you submitted at the time of admission. I'm not sure on this, but try.

      Delete
    2. Its too old...1994 & 1996. School said they dont have it...waiting for the college to give the letter and will see if they have the copy of 10th with them...trying all possible way...:(

    3. I know this might sound out but you can see if you have your roll number with you and then contact the school for further info. Another option is to check with your friends from school who are aware of your number or if any of them had a number after or before you in HSC.

    SSC and HSC certificates are not related to MU, they're related to the Board. Yes, you should get whatever you can get right now, and then go for the SSC certificate later. FIR should not be needed, just the affidavit. If you are applying for two different things then make two affidavits.

    1. Hi Aasim,

      Even considering both 1 and 2, you will anyways need your roll number. You can ask your college authorities if they maintain a record of students and their roll numbers(they must be having them in some file in the clutter). An application for duplicate copy of marksheet needs the roll number as the bare minimum.

    1. Hi there,

      Now losing ALL documents is the worst thing that I can imagine :D I keep all certificates in one place, and I've many times wondered what will happen if all of them are lost.

      For graduation docs(marksheet, convocation), if you graduated from Mumbai University, you will have to go to M.J. Phule Bhavan in its Kalina campus. I don't have an idea of what all will be needed, so you'll have to go multiple times for enquiry.

      Similar story for post grad, on the basis of where you did it from.

      Get set for many days of visits, lots of travelling and a hole in your pocket too :P

      Best of luck! :)

    1. Thank you Prasad :) Unfortunately, if the college does not have the seat number, then its difficult to apply for the duplicate. You can check for places like old emails, SMS in a phone that she used at that time, etc. to see if you mentioned it anywhere. You can also try her graduation college(if she pursued it). They also have records of students.

      You can try your luck at your school, they might have preserved the certificate. If not, you always have the option of going to the Board for a duplicate.

      P.S: The duplicate certificate is made of very low quality paper, with hand written marks and details. The original is far better :P

      You're welcome

    1. Hi Rods,

      As far as I know, someone else should be able to collect it on your behalf. Just teach that person your signature to avoid any issues :D

  56. HI,

    I have lost passing certificates of both SSC and HSC and will be applying to get duplicates for both. Needed to know if I should make 2 separate affidavits for both since my 10th and 12th were done from 2 different school/college. Or is it fine to submit one affidavit requesting to get both certificates. Thanks

    And thanks Ameya for sharing this. :)

      It would be better if you make two affidavits, just to be on a safer side :)

  57. Hi,

    Thanks Ameya for such an useful information. I have recently lost my SSC and HSC marksheet and certificate both but I have the scan copy of it.
    I do not have school leaving certificate or hall ticket any more.Does Scan copy contains the information of seat number .
    I have passed my SSC in year 2000 and HSC in 2002 from Mumbai University.

    Once I get the duplicate do I need to again go and get it attested from the school and college or does it come attested from the Mumbai University.

    Will this duplicate copies of marksheets will act as originals.

    1. Hey Aprajita,

      I'll answer those questions one by one.

      1) Yes, a scanned copy will have the seat number.

      2) You passed SSC and HSC from Mumbai division of Maharashtra Board, not MU :P

      3) The duplicate marksheets do not need any visit to the school. However, the passing certificate has a 'School stamp and sign' section on the back side, for which you will have to go to your alma mater.

      4)Yes, the duplicate copies are fully authorised original documents.

    1. Hey Abrar,

      Glad that I could help :D

      As far as I know, a police NC is not needed. However, there is some police documentation required if you lose your marksheet within the first 3 months of receipt. Just check about that from the Board officials, if needed.

  71. Really useful information here. Thanks.
    Would you know if the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education
    Mumbai division can issue duplicate certificates for students who have passed out from Pune and vice versa, can the Pune Division office issue certificates for students who have passed out from Mumbai?

    1. Hey Arun, I don't think so. Each division is most likely to handle students from its respective area only :)

    1. Hi Lolita. You shouldn't be needing FIRs. As for affidavits, it would be good if you have a separate one for the SSC and HSC marksheets.

      Your graduation marksheet will be with the university through which you graduated and not the Maharashtra board.
