Yes, you can combine your National Senior Certificate with an Amended Senior Certificate.
Can You Combine Two Matric Certificates?
Yes, you can. Combining your results is something you will need to apply for after doing a Matric Upgrade. This is because the Department of Education will not automatically combine the results for you. Results are only automatically combined if you do a Matric Rewrite, known as the supplementary exams.
How Do I Combine Matric Certificates?
You can have your Matric Certificates combined by applying to the Department of Basic Education for a Replacement Certificate: Change of Status.
How Much Does It Cost To Combine A Matric Certificate?
It will cost R153 to combine your results, and your new certificate will take four to six weeks to arrive. If you need a Statement of Results in the meantime, this will cost another R55. This will be sent to you immediately.
Note that these fees are valid from 01 April 2022 until 31 March 2023, after which these fees are subject to change.
What Do You Need To Combine Your Matric Certificate?
The documents needed to apply for your combined results are as follows:
- Your ID
- A certified copy of your ID
- Statement of Results from all exam sittings (including failed exams)
- Your barcoded Matric Certificates
- Proof of payment
You can fill in the application form, and submit this form online along with your uploaded documents. If you are not sure if your Matric Certificate is valid, you can verify your Matric Certificates on the Umalusi verification page. For more information, you can email Umalusi at [email protected].
Can I Go To University With An Amended Senior Certificate?
Yes, you can use this certificate to apply to study at universities. There are two Matric Certificates:
- National Senior Certificate – also known as school Matric
- Senior Certificate (Amended) – also known as Amended Senior Certificate or Adult Matric
These certificates are both NQF level 4, and they function the same way, meaning you can use them to apply for further studies or for jobs. Whether you are eligible to apply will depend on how well you passed.
What Is The Difference Between Amended Senior Certificate And National Senior Certificate?
National Senior Certificate | |
Also known as school Matric | Also known as Senior Certificate (Amended) or Adult Matric |
Exams written before you are 21 | Exams written after you are 21 |
Write school Matric exams | Write Adult Matric exams |
Must write seven subjects | Must write six subjects |
Must pass six of these seven subjects to pass Matric | Must pass five of these six subjects to pass Matric |
What Is The Importance Of A National Senior Certificate?
Getting your Matric can open up many opportunities for you to further your studies. If you do not have your Matric, there are options available for you to get your Matric:
- Matric Rewrite – if you failed Matric, are under the age of 21, and would like to improve your marks from a fail to a pass
- Matric Upgrade – if you failed Matric or you are not happy with your marks and you are over the age of 21, you can improve your marks from a fail to a pass
- Adult Matric – if you are over the age of 21 and did not get to complete high school and write your Matric exams
You can study for your Matric online through distance learning. There are many resources available to help you pass your rewrite or upgrade, such as past papers. To find out more about Adult Matric, see the principal of Matric College talk about Adult Matric on YouTube.
Once you have your Matric, you can further your studies at a university such as UNISA. Alternatively, there are options available for you to further your studies without Matric.

It is possible to combine 2007 Senior Certificate matric pass with Amended Senior Certificate pass?
That would be correct, yes but not as in adding marks that you got from 2007 to the marks you get today. Once you do your Amended Senior Certificate, the subjects that you were writing will become your new marks.

There are four pass levels for a National Senior Certificate: However, a lot of students are not aware of the criteria of these NSC pass levels and incorrectly think that if they get 30% across all their subjects, they will pass their matric. This is not the case. If a student does not meet the minimum pass requirements on the subjects written, they can be disappointed when they get their results.
Here are the different pass levels you can achieve after you have completed your matric:
Bachelor’s Degree Pass
Diploma Pass
Higher Certificate Pass
National Senior Certificate Pass
Bachelor’s Degree Pass Level
A minimum of 40% in your home language
A minimum of 50% in four subjects
A minimum of 30% in 2 other subjects
Diploma Pass Level
A minimum of 40% in your home language
A minimum of 40% in four subjects
A minimum of 30% in 2 other subjects
Higher Certificate Pass Level
A minimum of 40% in your home language
A minimum of 40% in two subjects
A minimum of 30% in 3 other subjects
National Senior Certificate Pass Level
A minimum of 40% in your home language
A minimum of 40% in two other subjects
A minimum of 20% in other subjects
Note: Keep in mind that each tertiary institution has its requirements. If you want to study at university, you will have to research the university and course you want to study.
You might gain entry into a university BUT this does not mean that you meet the requirements for a particular course.
