The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has recently introduced new guidelines that outline the process for teachers to renew their lost registration certificates.

According to a memo that was sent to regional offices, the teachers were asked to make their applications exclusively online to ensure that they do not overcrowd offices.

TSC Director of Quality Assurance Reuben Nthamburi also explained that the new directive would help the tutors reduce transportation costs.

“The Code of Regulation for teachers, 2015 regulation 32 (1) and (2) states that the commission may on application, issue duplicate certificate of registration to a person who’s lost, destroyed or misplaced upon payment of non-refundable fee of Ksh2,055,” he stated in the memo.

How to Apply Online

The commission is mandated to register qualified teachers and has allowed those who lose their certificates to ensure that they hold duplicates.

To apply for the certificate, teachers are expected to complete an online process through www.tsc.go.ke.

In the application process, the tutors need an original police abstract detailing the lost certificates. For a change of name, they need marriage certificates.

Applicants also need to pay Ksh2,055 and possess a valid National Identification card or passport.

After logging in, applicants should insert their ID number to proceed to the next stage where they enter more personal details including their KRA PIN certificate, their full name, and date of birth.

The applicants are then required to proceed to page four which is the final before submitting their details which include an upload of their scanned original documents.

TSC requires all tutors to ensure that they submit legitimate details and it’s an offense to provide false information. The offense is punishable by up to Ksh 100,000 or imprisoned for Twelve (12) months or both. The funds should also be deposited in a bank and a bank slip provided.
