Contact the organization in your state responsible for administering the GED program. In many states this is the state department of education. The state GED offices commonly have a request form on their websites, or you may submit a written request to the office with your name, date of birth, Social Security number, approximate year that you took the test and the city or county in which you took it. You must sign the request, authorizing the office to release your GED test scores and/or diploma.
Enclose with your request the required payment for the transcript or duplicate diploma. This payment varies by state, and some states provide transcripts and diplomas free of charge.
Include an addressed, postage paid envelope with your request with the address where you want the transcript or duplicate diploma sent. Follow the specific instructions listed on the website of the organization that administers your state's GED program.
Visit the website of the American Council of Education (see References) if you need help obtaining your GED transcript diploma. A tool on the website will help you find the location where you took the GED test. It provides contact information for the test site so you can ask for guidance in obtaining your transcript or diploma.
