Log on to the Department of Education website for the state in which you took the GED test.
Once you have found your state information, either print out the required transcript form or prepare a letter requesting your transcript. You will need the following information to submit your request: name, address, Social Security number, approximate date of testing and where you want the information sent. In addition, you need to state in your letter (if a form is not provided) that you authorize the release of your records and make sure to sign your name to this.
Check to see if payment is required to receive a copy of your transcript; some states require a fee. Pay your fee using an approved payment method.
Send your request to the appropriate department and pay attention to where transcripts are processed. Allow a few weeks to get your form. If you haven't received your diploma for some time, call the department and find out if there was a problem processing your information.
