I accidentally damaged my high school diploma, and I need to get a replacement. Does anyone know the process for getting a new one? Should I contact my former high school or is there another way?
8 months agoIn order to obtain a replacement diploma from your high school, you should reach out to your former high school directly. Most high schools have a process in place for issuing duplicate diplomas when the original is lost or damaged. Here are the steps you can follow to request a replacement diploma:
1. Contact the main office or the registrar of your former high school. You can find their contact information on the school's website or by searching online for the school's name and "registrar" or "main office."
2. Explain the situation to them and request a replacement diploma. They may require you to provide some personal information to verify your identity, such as your full name, date of birth, and the year you graduated.
3. The school may charge a fee for issuing a new diploma. If there is a fee, ask them about the payment options available and how you can make the payment.
4. Confirm whether you need to complete any forms or paperwork for the request. The school may have a specific form or application that you need to fill out. They may also ask for a written statement explaining why you need a new diploma.
5. Make sure to ask about the estimated processing time and how they plan to deliver the diploma. Usually, replacement diplomas are mailed directly to you, but the school might also offer an option for you to pick it up in person.
Remember to be patient, as the process might take some time, depending on the school's procedures and workload. Once you have followed all of the necessary steps, your replacement diploma should be on its way to you.
