GCSE Certificates

I've just enroled at college this morning, and there was some kind of problem with my GCSE results. Somehow I didn't receive my GCSE certificates, which apparently contains information the college needs. Instead I got a different results sheet, which doesn't have the information they need.
I hope this won't cause much of a problem at all, but there's the small matter of my Statistics grade, which I took a year early. I got a grade B, not that it matters, but I don't still have the certificate I apparently received a year ago. They advised me to contact my old school to get a copy of the certificate.
Does it matter if I can't get a copy, and has anyone else had a similar experience with exam certificates?

After I got my A-level results, we didn't get our actual certificates until our leavers' ceremony thing in December. Although I have no idea how long the school had had them beforehand.
The best thing to do is probably to ring up your school and they should be able toput your mind at rest
Good luck
All certificates have your name clearly printed so they won't worry about you trying to use them fraudulently or anything. There's nothing you could really do with a duplicate certificate.
If you contact the exam board who assessed the exam (contact details will be on their website), they normally reissue the certificates, or your school may still have them. However, exam boards can charge to reissue.
