How to enter serial and PIN on the WAEC site

Most “invalid PIN” errors are field swaps: serial in the PIN box, index in the serial box, or a letter O typed as zero. Slow down.

Payments happen on Ewale (ewalepay.com or *714*22#), not on this blog.

What you need

1. The Ewale SMS.
2. The index number on the candidate’s admission papers.
3. WAEC’s official checking page for that exam.

The flow on *714*22#

1. Copy serial exactly, including leading zeros.
2. Copy PIN exactly.
3. Enter the index number in the index field only.
4. Submit once. If it fails, re-read the fields before buying another voucher.

After you pay

Ewale support cannot reset a PIN you already successfully used on WAEC. They can help if you never received serial and PIN after a real debit.

If something fails

• Lookalike website: Stop. You may have given the voucher away. Use WAEC’s published address.
• Spaces and hyphens: Type only the characters in the SMS.

Match labels to SMS fields. Buy a second checker only after you are sure the first voucher never worked.
