An official transcript of scores may be requested by mail or in person. A transcript of test scores is available to individuals who have earned a GED credential by successfully sitting for and passing the GED Exam in the District of Columbia. Test records for the years 1997 - 2002 are maintained under social security number. Records prior to 1997 are filed by year. The test scores of individual candidates are confidential information. An examinee must request in writing that an official score report or verification be sent to a specific institution, employer, or other organization. Written requests must include the candidate's signature and social security number.
A "verification" is a written statement under the signature and seal of the GED Administrator of the District of Columbia stating the examinee's pass or fail status and the date as confirmed by a records search.
