- The name of the school or centre where the exam was done

Steps
- Go to QMIS (qmis.knec.ac.ke), register, then log in.
- Pick the confirmation query, enter the index number and the exam, year and series, then fill in where the statement should go.
- Attach the required documents and submit. Upload each exam as its own application.
- Wait for KNEC to verify, then check the status. The system sends you a paybill number and the amount to pay by M-Pesa.
- KNEC sends the statement to the institution by registered mail at no extra cost.
Watch out
- The statement goes only to the employer or institution. KNEC will not give or copy it to the candidate or parent.
- A statement of results is not a certificate, and it can't be passed on from one organisation to another.
Who can apply
- Employers and institutions checking an employee's or student's results. A person can also apply for their own results to be confirmed.
