How to Replace Lost GED

Having a GED allows a student the ability to either attend a college or university, join the military or seek employment. The GED, also known as the General Educational Development credential, is equivalent to the high school diploma. Sometimes the physical document is required to gain admission to institutions like college or for verification from an employer to prove you have completed your high school education. With the correct resources, your lost GED can easily be replaced.

Instructions

      Locate the testing center where you took your GED test. Unfortunately, there may not be a centralized location that houses all GEDs. Therefore you must locate your testing location for them to obtain a record of your GED and have it sent to you.

      Have one or more forms of identification for verification purposes. Due to identity theft, adding verification of your identity will ensure that the GED testing center sends the GED to your home without delay. You can use any state-issued ID that includes a picture and also a Social Security card or passport for verification. You may not need to have verifiable identification, but whether you physically pick up your GED or request it through the mail, you may need to have official documentation proving your identity.
