Requirements to Combine Your Matric Results
As easy as it may sound, you need to meet the requirements before combining your matric results. But don’t stress, they’re quite straightforward. To qualify, you will need to:
- Pass at least five of your six subjects
- Get more than 20% for a failed a subject you want to combine
Applying for Combination of Matric Results
Now it’s on to the next step, which is to apply to combine your results. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) won’t automatically do it for you. You need to apply for a replacement certificate to change the status of your results unless you wrote your supplementary exam.
How Much Does it Cost to Combine Your Results?
The cost of combining your results and getting a replacement certificate cost R164. You need to pay an additional R52 if you would like to receive a statement of your results. These fees apply from the 1st of April 2023 and remain in effect until the 31st of March 2024.
To apply, submit the following documents:
- The completed registration form
- Proof of payment for replacement certificate and statement of results
- Your matric results
- Certified copy of your ID
Where to Apply for a Combination of Your Matric Results
There are two ways to apply for a combination of your results. Before you apply, make sure that you paid the cost and have all your required documents. This ensures that you avoid any hiccups along the way. You can apply:

Does Combination of Matric Results Apply to Every Subject?
Well, not quite. Your Adult Matric exam results make up 100% of your final mark. So if you would like to combine subjects with a practical component, you won’t be able to merge those results.
When Will you get Your Combined Matric Results?
There’s no need to wait. Your combined matric results will immediately be available to you. And in just four to six weeks, you can receive your replacement matric certificate.
