    Replacement-Style College Diploma & Transcript Sets

    How do you replace a lost college diploma? Start with your college. Most registrar or alumni records offices can reissue a diploma for a fee and send a transcript or enrollment confirmation. If your school has closed, your state's higher-education agency usually knows who holds its records. For a display piece, Hey Congrats makes replacement-style copies.

    Step 1: ask your school. Search "[school name] diploma reissue" or contact the records office. Have your name as enrolled, your graduation year and ID ready. The National Student Clearinghouse handles transcript and degree requests for many US colleges.

    Step 2: if you want a display copy while you wait, or one to keep at home, choose a personalized, non-official college diploma or transcript display copy below: stock layout, match-style from your reference, or a coordinated set.

    These display copies are not issued or endorsed by any school and cannot be used for employment, admissions, licensing, immigration or credential verification.

    1. Choose stock, match-style or a set.
    2. Enter the display details: name, institution text, degree wording, major, date.
    3. Upload a reference if you chose match-style.
    4. Pick digital, printed or both.
    5. Review every answer and the total, then add it to the cart.

    Replacement timeline: school reissue vs. display copy

    • Who issues it: a school reissue comes from your college. A Hey Congrats display copy comes from Hey Congrats and is non-official.
    • Accepted by employers or schools: a school reissue, yes (follow the school's process). A display copy, no.
    • Timing: the school sets its own timing. For a display copy, timing depends on the product and delivery option you choose.
    • Best for: a school reissue is for proof of your degree. A display copy is for display, a keepsake, a gift or a personal archive.
