You can get a copy of your GED in a few different ways. You’ll likely have to pay a small charge to get it, usually around $20. Most schools will send it to you electronically or by postal mail, whichever you choose.
The first way is by contacting the school in which you got the GED. This will be the easiest method. You can either call, write or visit the school’s website. If you call or write, just let them know your intentions. If it’s a school website, many have a direct link to order a copy of the GED where you’ll be able to pay the fee online with a credit card. If you can’t find a link to order one, go to Administration and send an email.
If the school that you got your GED from is no longer around, you can still get a copy. You’ll need to contact the state’s Department of Education. You can do this by going directly to their website. Go to the search box and enter "GED.” Many times they will give you a link to order the copy right online. Otherwise, it will give you an address to write a formal request to.
The time that it takes to process your order may vary from state to state or school to school. It will also depend on how long ago it was that you got the GED. If you graduated prior to 2000, the chances are, your diploma is in a paper format only, which means that some digging through files may be required. It is not uncommon to have to wait up to 4 weeks for a copy of your GED, so if you do not currently have a copy, you may want to order one sooner than later.
