How to Get a Copy of a GED Certificate in Indiana
Once you successfully earned your high-school equivalency by passing the General Educational Development test, or GED, as it is commonly known, you probably went out and got a job and forgot about it. But in the course of going about your life, you may have misplaced your official GED transcript, which is the document proving that you successfully completed it. You may need it to get another job or enter college. If so, in Indiana there are two ways to get a new copy.

Contact the institution that administered the GED, if you do not need an official GED transcript. Ask if you need an application or if you should simply write a letter. In either case, get the mailing address or fax number and be prepared to give your name as it was at the time that you tested, date of birth and the year you tested for the GED.

Write and include a statement asking that the transcript be released to a third party (such as a prospective employer), if that is what you need. If so, also include the name of the person or office that should receive the GED transcript and the appropriate fax number or mailing address.

This was very hard to read with the Facebook, Tweet, Google +, Print frame in the way. I see no way to close it, and it scrolls with the page. I had to copy out the text to a notepad file to read it. Google Chrome browser here.
