Digital certificates

The person who booked the exam can access the digital certificate as soon as we release the results. Candidates with accounts have access to their certificate with their results seven days later.  

To view a certificate: 

• Log in to your ABRSM account. 
• On your dashboard go to ‘My previous exams’. Click on the certificate icon next to the mark form. 
• If there is mistake on the certificate, you can ask us to correct it: Contact us 

All digital certificates have a unique QR code in the bottom right-hand corner. Anyone can scan the QR code to view the certificate validation page. This is available seven days after we release the result. 

The validation page confirms the following candidate and exam details: 

• Name and ABRSM Contact ID 
• Exam type 
• Instrument/subject 
• Grade/level
• Year of exam 
• Result 

You can order a paper certificate through your account for £3 or the equivalent currency for your country. The person who booked the exam can do this or the candidate if they have an account.   

We will only issue one paper certificate. This will be available to the first person who places an order.  

Before ordering, check the digital certificate to make sure everything is correct. You can contact us to ask for small corrections. Corrections can take up to four weeks.
