Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to buy a replica or novelty diploma?
Yes, when used responsibly. Our documents are novelty items intended for replacement of lost or damaged originals, commemorative keepsakes, display pieces, props for film and theatre, and gag gifts. They must not be used to misrepresent your qualifications or identity in any way, such as for employment, licensing or immigration.
What is the difference between a replica diploma and a real diploma?
A replica (also called a novelty diploma) is a high-quality copy made for display, keepsake, prop or personal use. It is not issued by any school or university and is not valid for official verification. A real diploma is issued by your educational institution. We only make novelty and replica documents for personal, display and prop use.
How do I place an order for a replica diploma?
Choose your document from the shop, complete the order form with your name, school, degree title, and graduation date, then proceed to checkout. You will receive a free digital proof for approval before printing.
How long does production take?
Production typically runs the same working day or within a day or two; most orders are dispatched within a couple of business days. Custom novelty designs may take a little longer. Same-day digital PDF delivery is available on many documents.
Can you match my specific school?
Yes. We specialise in matching fonts, wording, and layout. Many schools and institutions are already in our collection — if you don’t see yours, request a custom quote.
What does a proof look like?
Before printing, we email you a digital proof showing exactly how your document will look, so you can review the details at no extra cost.
How is my order shipped?
All orders ship in plain, discreet packaging. Choose from standard, priority, or express options at checkout.
What materials do you use for novelty diplomas?
We print on premium paper stocks that match the weight and texture of real academic documents, with realistic fonts and professional finishing. Optional upgrades include gold foil seals, embossed emblems and raised text.
Why do people buy replica diplomas?
Most customers order a replica diploma to replace a lost or damaged original for display, to keep a second copy while the original stays safely stored, to use as a realistic prop for film, television, theatre or photography, or to give as a novelty gift or keepsake celebrating a real achievement.
High School Diploma FAQs
Can I order just a diploma? Yes. Can I order a set with a transcript? Yes — sets include both. Can you add a gold-foil seal or embossed emblem? Yes, those are optional upgrades. We make replica high school diplomas and novelty home school diplomas to order.
