Where to Find Your TSC Certificate [Updated]
When applying for TSC registration, you’re required to provide a valid email address.
TSC will use the provided email address to send the certificate of registration in softcopy (digital format).
To verify the authenticity of the applicant, a One Time Pin (OTP) verification code will be sent to your phone.
You need to enter this code to complete the verification process.
Make sure you provide a valid email address that you can access at any time, as you may face problems if you provide an email address that you cannot access.
Once the registration is successful, the digitized certificate of registration will be emailed to the provided email address.
Teachers can then download the emailed certificate of registration and print it as a hard copy to serve as evidence of their registration with TSC.
Teachers initiating the registration process with the TSC are required to provide a valid email address during the application. This email becomes the conduit for the digital certificate delivery.

If yes, there are a few possibilities as to why you haven’t received your certificate yet:
Local Cyber Cafés
If you’ve used their postal address, try touching base with the café owners. They might have collected your certificate.
School’s Postal Address
Your certificate may have been sent back to the TSC headquarters if the school was closed and the messengers didn’t pick up the mail.

Your Email Address
Recently, TSC started sending TSC registration certificates to email.
Be checking the email address you provided during registration.
When it arrives, you can download and print it.

The applicants are thereby advised to collect the certificates from TSC headquarters, TSC house Quality Assurance and Standard Division.”
