Hey everyone, I accidentally damaged my high school diploma and I need a replacement. Does anyone know the process for getting a replacement diploma? Should I contact my high school directly or is there a different way to request it?
Hey there! Sorry to hear about your damaged diploma. To get a replacement diploma, you should definitely contact your high school directly. Typically, the school's main office or the registrar's office is responsible for handling such requests. Call or email them to let them know about your situation and ask if they can issue a new diploma for you.
Keep in mind that they might charge a small fee for replacing your diploma, so be prepared for that. Additionally, they may ask for some personal information to verify your identity before they can process your request. This could include your name, graduation year, date of birth, and a photograph of your damaged diploma.
Once they've received your request and any necessary documentation, they might send you a replacement diploma through postal mail or ask you to pick it up at the school. The processing time will vary by school, so it's best to ask them for an estimated timeline when you initially contact them.
Good luck and I hope you get your replacement diploma soon!
