Straight answers about replacing a lost or damaged college or university diploma, costs, degree levels, closed universities, and ordering for institutions in other countries.
How do I get a copy of my college diploma?
The fastest way is to order a custom college diploma replica printed with your university’s name, your name, degree title, and graduation date. Universities often take 4 to 8 weeks (or longer) for duplicates and charge a fee, and many no longer hold records for older alumni. A replica is designed, proofed, and shipped within days.
How much does a college diploma replica cost?
A college or university diploma replica is $185. Pairing it with a matching transcript brings the set to $325 — cheaper than ordering the two separately. Degree-level replicas like associate, bachelor, master, and PhD diplomas follow the same pricing. See our full price guide for every document type.
Can I get a replacement diploma if my university closed?
Yes. When a university closes, its records are often scattered across state archives or lost entirely — a real problem for alumni who need the physical document. A custom replica diploma printed in your university’s name and your graduation year is the practical way to get a degree document back on the wall. You provide the institution name and your details; we match the era’s style and layout.
Can I order a college diploma for any university?
Yes. We cover institutions across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa, and more. If your institution isn’t listed, request a custom quote.
Which degree levels can I order?
All of them. We make replica diplomas for associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and PhD diplomas. Each is matched to the typical layout and wording for that degree level, with your name, institution, degree title, and graduation date.
Can a replica include honors like cum laude?
Yes. If your original included honors notation — cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude, or department distinctions — we can include it, provided you can confirm the details. Providing a photo or scan of the original (or a classmate’s) lets us match the notation, placement, and layout closely.
Can I order a college diploma and transcript together?
Yes, and it’s the most common way to order. A matched diploma + transcript set uses consistent names, institution, and dates across both documents and ships together — $325 for the set. Individual transcripts are available separately at $145.
How long does a college diploma replica take?
Digital copies are usually delivered the same working day; printed copies are processed and shipped within 1 to 2 business days. Universities commonly take 4 to 8 weeks for duplicates. If you need the document for framing, a keepsake, or a prop, a custom replica is the fastest route to having it in hand.
Will a college diploma replica match my original?
A quality replica matches the original’s layout, fonts, seal placement, and signature lines as closely as possible. Providing a photo or scan of the original allows a near-exact visual match; otherwise we work from the institution’s standard diploma format for your graduation year. We do not reproduce forged signatures — you can choose sample signatures or blank signature areas.
Do employers accept replica college diplomas?
No — and that’s by design. Employers who verify degrees do so through official channels with the university, not the paper itself. A replica is for display, personal records, keepsakes, and props only, and must never be used to misrepresent your qualifications. See our legality guide for where a replica fits.
