When and how to use this letter

Duplicate marksheets are issued by the board, so your school acts as the forwarding channel: submit this application to the principal's office with the fee receipt, an identity document copy, and an affidavit on stamp paper declaring the loss. Some boards also ask for a copy of a police report for lost documents, so check your board's duplicate-document rules on its website before you visit; arriving with the complete set saves you a second trip. Processing usually takes two to six weeks.

Be precise with your examination details. The board locates your record by roll number, year, and session, so double-check these against any old photocopy or your school's record before applying; a wrong roll number sends your file into a verification loop. A useful tip: while the duplicate is being processed, ask your school for a certified copy of your result from its own record. Many admission offices accept a school-certified copy temporarily, which buys you time.

When the duplicate arrives, note that it will be stamped or printed as a duplicate. This is normal and fully valid for admissions and employment. Store it with the same care as an original, and this time keep a scanned copy in your email so you are never stuck again.
