Yes you need to go Pearson website to request your result. Edexcel was acquired by Pearson few years ago. Here are the steps to follow-
1. go to
https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/Services/replacement-certificates.html and read the whole page. you will see standard service on the left and priority service on the right side. priority service is not applicable to you. standard service provides replacement certificate, send results to third party and issues a letter to explain the result. the last one result explanation is only for people qualified on a vocational course which is no longer available so it does not applicable to you.
2. at the bottom of the page you will see a link for application form. click that.
3. before you start your application you need to create wes account and pay fees, make sure you write edexcel as the educational institute for your HND. you will get your wes reference number. download transcript request form and fill up it and scan it.
4. go to
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Special-requirements/Pearson-RC-Consent-Form.pdf download, fill up and scan it.
5. on the pearson application page select placement certificate standard service £43. This service will give you both certificate and notication of performance.
6. only fill up which are starred (*). you can add additional info if you wish. I have added "Please include WES ref no:---------".
7. next page is for delivery info. write wes details. Phone: 4169720070. you can tick the express delivery charge £20.
8. following page is card holder page. if you are the card holder and your name on the card exactly matches with your application name then tick the box "same as qualification name". but if you are not the card holder or your name differs then you will have to upload a passport copy of the card holder (yours, if name differs) on the next page.
9. this page will ask you to upload a photo ID- (uk driving licence, passport etc.) of the card holder. and you will see another four placeholders to upload additional documents. upload wes request form and pearson consent form here. click next it will take you to payment page. pay the fees and you will get a reference number. you can track progress of your application using this number. usually it takes about 3 weeks before they send the documents but now due to Christmas and new year vacation it will take longer i am afraid. you will find the link to track the application on

if you find technical difficulties to fill up or paying fees then first make sure you do the following:
- You’re using a PC or Laptop and not a handheld device (e.g. tablet, smartphone)
- Try using a different search browser
- Ensure that you’ve entered the correct card details.
- You’ve uploaded your ID if you were prompted.
- Pearson only accepts payments from credit card and debit card (Mastercard and Visa only, not AMEX).
If none of these methods work, send an email to
students@pearson.com so they can assist you further. Their replacement certificate team regularly send documents to WES so they know the whole procedure. don't worry.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!
