What if this is my first transcript request? Do I still have to pay for it?
For candidates registered for the most recent examination session (May or November), the International Baccalaureate will send transcripts free of charge to 6 universities when requests are made before 5 July (for the most recent May Session) or 5 January (for the most recent November Session). Candidates that have exceeded the free transcript limit will be charged UK£10 per additional transcript request.
For candidates of all previous examination sessions there is a fee of UK£10 per transcript request
What if I sat my IB diploma examinations this year and requested my transcript through my school?
If you requested to have a transcript sent to a university through your high school, your transcript will be sent out in July. You may want to follow up with your university to ensure that they have received your transcript.
Can I pay for my transcript by credit card online?
No, credit card details can be provided on the transcript request form for universities outside of the US and Canada.
How long will it take for my transcript to arrive?
Transcript requests are processed in the order in which they are received. Please allow 10-14 business days for your transcript to arrive at the university that you requested. During the peak months of July-September and December-January, transcript requests may take longer to process. The IB is not responsible for delays in the postal service or in processing your transcript at the university. Some universities receive transcripts electronically and they will be automatically notified when your results are available.
Can I have my transcript sent to my home address?
No, these documents are sent directly to universities only.
How can I receive a replacement IB diploma or certificate?
