Duplicate Diplomas and/or Transcripts

NOTE: The New York State Education Department DOES NOT have any high school records or high school transcripts. To obtain a copy of your HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT, contact the school district from which you graduated.

To obtain a copy of your NEW YORK STATE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY DIPLOMA or TRANSCRIPT, you must:

1. Complete the Duplicate Request for HSE Diplomas and/or Transcripts
   • Enclose a certified check or money order payable to the New York State Education Department:
     • $4.00 for a copy of a transcript (only passing transcripts result in a diploma)
     • $10.00 for copy of diploma and transcript

       Please do not send cash, personal checks or international money orders. All fees are non-refundable.

       For international document requests, a pre-paid, self-addressed return envelope, that is at least 9 inches by 6 inches, must be included with this form.
        

2. Send the completed Duplicate Request form and payment to:

THE NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

If the Duplicate Request form is incomplete (e.g. no candidate signature, etc.) or there is no payment, all paperwork will be returned to the candidate for revision and resubmission.

For some candidates, it may be possible to obtain unofficial results on the HSE Status Report at this website.
