How to Replace GED Scores & Diploma

The General Educational Development (GED) tests and resulting diploma are proof that you have completed your primary education. If you misplace these official records, it is important that you track down the documents. They may be needed for job and continuing education applications. However, this does not necessarily mean you are facing an immediate emergency. Many agencies will be willing to wait a reasonable amount of time while you place these records on order. Know that as long as you have proof of identification, you should face few problems in acquiring this proof of education.

      Contact the agency that issued the GED tests. Often, this is a local community college or other educational body. However, other public institutions are sometimes responsible for proctoring the test.

    • 2

      Provide the agency with your identifying information, which will include your full name and Social Security number. It will also be extremely helpful if you can remember the approximate date you took the test.

    • 3

      Contact the state board for General Education Development in the state where you took the test if the agency does not have a ready copy on file. Most states provide a form on their websites that can be downloaded.

      Mail in the proper form to the state board. Make sure that you provide all information that the form requires. Not filling out the form in its entirety can result in longer waits for the official transcripts to be issued.

      Allow enough time from the day of transcript request until the transcripts must be available for review. Sometimes this can take several weeks, so remember to always plan ahead when dealing with any administrative requests.
