Quick answer
To obtain an official duplicate licence, prepare licence number or result details, citizenship, old copy if available, loss or damage declaration, confirm the current process with the Teacher Service Commission and its official online portals, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Licensed teachers whose licence is lost, damaged or unreadable
- Applicants who need to obtain an official duplicate licence using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship and applicant identity matching TSC and academic records
- □ licence number or result details
- □ citizenship
- □ old copy if available
- □ loss or damage declaration
- □ Official teaching-licence or teacher-competition application reference
- □ Official TSC application fee or payment receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Teacher Service Commission and its official online portals is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across licence number or result details, citizenship, old copy if available, loss or damage declaration.
- Identify the licence level and number, use the TSC's current duplicate process, submit identity and loss evidence, and verify the replacement details.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched licence number or result details, citizenship, old copy if available, loss or damage declaration
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- A self-printed scan or edited copy does not replace the official licence record.

The decision point most applicants miss
Confirm whether the need is duplicate licence, online verification, name correction, result confirmation or a fresh licence application.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.

The official Teacher Service Commission site links the teaching-licence portal and open or internal competition portal and publishes advertisements, examination centres, results, recommendations, laws, syllabuses and sample forms. Time-sensitive requirements must still be rechecked before submission.
