Hello,

Yes, you can submit the duplicate SSC certificate in place of the original one. Here are the points to consider:

1. Acceptance of Duplicate : In most cases, educational institutions, government bodies, and employers accept the online-issued duplicate certificate if it's issued by the official board or examination authority.

2. Authenticity : Ensure that the downloaded certificate is issued through the official board’s online portal, as this proves its authenticity. You may need to provide additional verification, such as a printout of the confirmation page or receipt.

3. Application Process : You may need to submit the duplicate certificate along with an affidavit or a request letter explaining the loss of the original certificate, if required.

4. Check with Authorities : Before submitting, it is advisable to confirm with the concerned authorities (educational institution, government office, or employer) if the duplicate certificate is acceptable.

5. Original Certificate : If found later, you can submit the original certificate in place of the duplicate.
