Migration certificate is an important document which indicates he/she is the bona fide student of a particular board. The document is required when a student is changing board after Class X or XII or when a student seek admission in a higher education system.
Once the CBSE results are announced, the board issues the migration certificate to the students. The CBSE is already providing the pass certificate and mark-sheet through DigiLocker.
The CBSE has also eased the norms for getting duplicate educational documents if these are misplaced, mutilated or stolen. The applicant has to send a valid copy of photo I-card like Aadhaar card, driving licence, voter card, bank passbook, and an application with complete details is to be submitted to the Regional Office, CBSE, said the controller, examinations.
