GED Testing Program Diploma or Transcript Requests

Contact us: Toll Free 1-877-352-4331

Request a Copy of Your Diploma or Transcript

If you took the General Educational Development (GED) test in Florida and need a copy of your diploma or transcript, the following instructions will help you prepare the request. The GED office is not equipped to fill orders by telephone or via the Internet, we require a written request accompanied by the required fee. Once we receive the written request in the GED office, it takes approximately 10-15 working days for the document to be mailed.

To receive a copy of your diploma or transcript, you should:

Step 1 – Complete a Written Request and Release of Information

  • You may use the standard form here: Request for GED Transcript Form
  • Submit a written request that includes the following information:
    • Your name
    • Date of birth
    • Social security number
    • Approximate year the test was taken
    • City or county where the test was taken

Step 2: Include Payment ($6 per duplicate transcript or diploma)

  • Send a $6 money order or cashiers check for each transcript and/or diploma being requested.
  • Make it payable to the Florida Department of Education for each copy you are requesting.
  • We do not accept personal checks or cash.

Step 3: Include Return Envelope

  • Address an envelope to where you would like the document mailed, with appropriate postage.
  • A transcript requires a letter sized envelope with a $.44 stamp.
  • A diploma requires a 10x13 envelope with $1.15 postage attached.
  • If you order both documents, and they are being sent to the same address, send only the 10x13 envelope.

To ensure faster delivery, you may use a FED EX, UPS envelope, or other service with a pre-addressed / pre-paid envelope enclosed.

Step 4: Mail the Request

  • Mail all items in Steps 1 to 3 to the following address:
    Florida Department of Education
    GED Testing Office
    325 West Gaines Street, Room 634
    Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0400

To request a name change to your GED record.

The GED Office requires legal documentation in the form of a marriage license, divorce decree, or legal name change along with a copy of the candidates driver's license and social security card before the record can be updated. All requests for name changes that do not include the required documentation will be returned to the requestor.

If you have any questions about these procedures or if we can offer assistance of another nature, please contact the GED office at (850) 245-0449 or toll-free at 1-877-352-4331.
