There are a few ways to get your GED. Depending upon how long ago that you got your GED, what school you obtained it from, and the state in which you received it will all determine how easy it is to get a copy of your GED.
The best way to make the application is by contacting the school itself. You’ll be able to do a quick internet search to find out the school’s website if you don’t already have it. You can then click on administration and locate the records office. If they don’t have a link to request a GED directly from the website, you’ll be able to send an email to request one. They may charge you a nominal fee and then they will either email you a copy of it or send it via postal service.
If the school you obtained your GED from is no longer in business, you can still get a copy. The state’s Department of Education website will be able to give you that information quite easily. You’ll again look up the state’s education website and find the information that you need. Many states provide a link directly to the GED lookup where you’ll be able to obtain a copy. They can send it to you or directly to an employer if that is who wants the information. A fee may be required to process the request and most state sites allow you to pay directly online using a credit card.
Depending upon how long ago the diploma was received, you may wait days or weeks for the request to be processed. Before 2000 and even later in some states, GED diplomas were not saved online, so you may have to wait for a state to locate the GED before they can copy it and send it off to you, either via email or postal mail.
