How Do I Request a Replacement Diploma?

[hepij]

Hi everyone,

I recently lost my original diploma and need to get a replacement. Can anyone share the process for requesting a replacement diploma from their school or university?

Specifically, I'm curious about the typical requirements, fees involved, and how long it usually takes to receive it. Also, are there any tips for expediting the process or dealing with common issues like name changes or graduation year verification?

Any advice or personal experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I've gone through this recently. Usually, you start by contacting your school's registrar or alumni office. Most schools have an online request form for replacement diplomas. You'll probably need to provide some ID, your full name as it appears on the diploma, your graduation year, and maybe your student ID number if you still have it.

Fees vary widely, typically between $20 and $100 depending on the institution, and it can take anywhere from a few weeks up to a couple of months. If you have a name change, you might need to provide legal documents like a marriage certificate or court order.

To speed things up, make sure you fill out the form carefully, submit all required documents upfront, and follow up politely if you don't hear back in a couple of weeks. Some schools offer expedited shipping for an extra fee.

Usually, you need to contact your school's registrar or alumni office to order a replacement diploma. Most schools have an online form where you provide your full name, graduation year, and sometimes your student ID. You'll likely need to submit a copy of your ID as well. Fees typically range from $20 to $100, and processing can take a few weeks to a couple of months. If you've changed your name, you'll need to provide legal documents like a marriage certificate. To speed things up, submit everything correctly the first time and consider paying for expedited shipping if available.
