Processing and Fees
Standard processing for a GED® transcript is $10. The GED Office will process your transcript within 30 business days from the day received. We will mail a sealed transcript from a State mail station through the United States Postal Service standard delivery. The State GED Office does not control the time it takes to go through the State Mail Station or the United States Postal Service.
Priority processing is available for $15. The GED Office will process your transcript within two business days. We will send the transcript through the United States Postal Service first-class mail and fax you a copy if you choose.
Unofficial Scores
An unofficial copy of your test results may be viewed and printed for free using your SAFE account.
Additional Information
The non-refundable service fee is for the record search. It does not guarantee that the person has taken or earned a GED. The Ohio GED Office will mail an official transcript of GED scores or a "No Record Found" letter to the institution, employer, agency or individual you designate as the recipient of the requested information. For security and authenticity purposes, all official transcripts are mailed directly from the Ohio GED Office to the institution, employer, agency or individual.
For your protection, the Privacy Act of 1974 requires written permission with your signature to release GED scores. The Ohio GED Transcript Office and local GED testing centers can not release GED score information over the telephone.
