How Much It Costs (And When To Start)
WAEC opened registration on Monday, 9 June 2025.
You’ll need:
- ₦27,000 for the registration
- ₦500 bank/service charge
That’s a total of ₦27,500. Not too bad if you ask me. Just don’t wait till the last minute to start looking for it.
Where To Pay
You can pay at:
Banks like:
Access, GTBank, First Bank, Zenith, UBA, FCMB, WEMA, Sterling, Unity, Polaris, Jaiz, Heritage, Fidelity, Standard Chartered, Union, Ecobank, Stanbic IBTC
Digital apps:
Kuda, Paga, PalmPay, Interswitch, Etranzact, CoralPay, IQ Pay, System Specs, Xpress Payment, Paycom and some others you’ve probably used for airtime.
Once you pay, you’ll get a special PIN. Don’t lose it. It’s basically your ticket.
How To Register (Simple Steps, No Long Talk)
Step 1: Pay and Get Your PIN
Once you pay the fee at an approved place, you’ll receive a registration PIN.

Go to WAEC registration site and log in with your PIN.
Step 3: Have Your NIN Handy
You’ll need your National Identification Number (NIN) to register.
Step 4: Special Needs? Mention It

Step 5: Complete Registration
You’ve got two weeks from when you start to finish everything. Check your info well. Make sure your name, gender, date of birth, photo and subject choices are correct. Print out your Admission Notice. That page also has your Result Checker PIN, so don’t lose it.

Don’t Mess Around: WAEC Rules That Can Wipe Out Your Result
Look, WAEC isn’t playing. You mess up, they don’t just cancel one paper—they can wipe your entire result. Here’s what’ll get you into trouble:
- Bringing stuff into the hall: notes, phones, cheat papers—just don’t. You’ll lose that subject or everything.
- Copying, switching papers or receiving help: Whole result gone.
- Tearing your answer sheet, starting before time or shouting: You’re done for that subject.
- Helping others cheat: One-year ban.
- Whispering or passing notes: You and your “partner in crime” lose the paper.
- Getting someone else to write for you (impersonation): Police might get involved. Two-year ban.
- Posting live questions or answers online: No result. Centre staff caught? Police again.
- Mass cheating (like half the class copying): Whole class fails that subject.
- Registering in two centres: All results gone.
- Fighting, using weapons or threatening exam staff: Banned and arrested.
- Using pencil instead of pen, or breaking exam booklet rules: Paper cancelled.
- Destroying proof of cheating: No result for you.
You’ve got the info now. No need to panic. Just take it one step at a time. Stay sharp, read smart and maybe avoid last-minute cramming this time (yeah, we’ve all done it). GCE doesn’t have to be a horror story—unless you ignore the rules.
