Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a real GED certificate online?
No. An earned GED credential follows the official testing process and cannot be purchased from HeyCongrats. For an earned credential or an official replacement diploma or transcript, use GED Testing Service. For a personalized, non-official piece intended only for display, keepsake, or permitted prop use, browse the GED display-copy collection.
Where can I order a personalized GED diploma display copy?
HeyCongrats offers personalized, non-official GED display copies through the GED collection. They are made for framing, keepsakes, gifting, personal archives, motivation, or permitted props. They do not prove education, test results, or graduation.
What GED display products does HeyCongrats offer?
The collection includes a diploma-only display copy and a coordinated diploma-and-transcript display package. Available styles, sizes, delivery choices, and personalization fields are controlled by the options shown on each product page.
Should I choose a GED diploma only or a diploma-and-transcript display set?
Choose the diploma-only option when one commemorative piece fits the project. Choose the coordinated set when you want matching diploma and score-layout pieces. Both choices are non-official and have no verification value.
What is the difference between an official GED diploma and transcript?
GED Testing Service explains that the diploma is the certificate issued by the jurisdiction after the credential is earned, while the transcript is the official record of test subjects and scores. A HeyCongrats score-layout display piece is not an official transcript. See the official GED records route for formal documents.
Are digital, printed, and combined delivery options available?
Options vary by product and variant. Select digital, printed, or combined delivery only when that choice appears on the current product page. The selected Shopify variant controls the displayed price and whether shipping information is required.
How much does a personalized GED display copy cost?
Use the current price shown for the selected product, design, and delivery variant. Start with the GED collection, then choose the exact diploma-only or package option you want. This avoids publishing a fixed FAQ price that could become inaccurate when product options change.
What information should I prepare before ordering?
Prepare the display name, jurisdiction or state wording, date, design or style, delivery choice, and any other fields shown in the order assistant. Review spelling, dates, and selected options carefully before adding the item to the cart because customer-supplied details flow into production.
Can I purchase proof review for a GED order?
The paid proof-review option appears only on eligible mailed GED products. If the product assistant shows it, select it before checkout and the current price will be added to the order. Proof is not free or automatically included. If no proof option appears, do not expect a proof.
How do I replace a lost or damaged official GED diploma or transcript?
Start with HeyCongrats' protected official GED replacement guide, then use GED Testing Service's Grads and Transcripts route to select the jurisdiction where the credential was earned. HeyCongrats cannot issue or replace an official record.
Does the official GED replacement process vary by state or jurisdiction?
Yes. The issuing name, provider, available format, price, and procedure can vary by jurisdiction and credential date. Follow the current instructions returned by GED Testing Service for the place where the test was completed.
Can a HeyCongrats GED copy be used for a job, college, licensing, or verification?
No. A HeyCongrats GED copy cannot verify education, test scores, or graduation and must not be submitted as an official credential. Request the official diploma or transcript from the authorized provider when an employer, school, licensing body, or other organization needs proof.
