Certificates and transcripts
Replacement copies for alumni
If you require a replacement certificate or hard copies of your transcript you will need to contact Registry. Please be aware that while we make every effort to process requests quickly it can take up to 10 working days to provide the documents to you (in busy periods this may be extended but a timeframe will be communicated to you).
Please note:
- We cannot provide digital copies of certificates
- We can provide digital copies of transcripts and status letters free of charge if the information is available on our database.
- We can provide digital copies of status letters for a charge of £5 if the information is not stored on our database and therefore manual archive work is required.
- We can provide digital copies of transcripts for a charge of £10 if the information is not stored on our database and therefore manual archive work is required.
- Certificates sent to overseas addresses can take a number of weeks to arrive.
- Certificates and transcripts can normally only be issued in the legal name of the individual recorded by the School at the point of award; please see our Legal name policy for more information.

We are able to provide replacement certificates (if your original is lost or damaged) for awards that were validated by Guildhall School of Music & Drama. This is for a charge of £35.
If your award was validated by City, University of London, University of Kent or University of York you will need to contact them directly for a replacement certificate, information can be found on their websites. Please email us if you need further advice on this.
The cost for duplicate transcripts is £20 for three copies with a £5 surcharge for each further copy.
- 2008/09 - Present (BA Acting, Technical Theatre, Postgraduate programmes): If all of your studies took place after September 2008, we can normally provide a transcript.
- 2010/11 – Present (BMus): If all of your studies took place after September 2010, we can normally provide a transcript.
- 1992 to 2007/08 (Acting, Technical Theatre, Postgraduate programmes) & 2009/10 (BMus) Student information was recorded electronically, but is limited to personal details, yearly enrolment details, progression and award. Transcripts are not available. We can provide confirmation of attendance and award only.
*Important Note about Awards made prior to 1992 or those validated by University of Kent and University of York
You will receive a Confirmation of Studies letter rather than a formal transcript. The letter will confirm the course studied, dates of enrolment, award achieved, date of award and the validating body where relevant. This service is offered free of charge.
How to proceed
The first step to make a request or for further advice is to please email registry@gsmd.ac.uk with as many of the details below as possible and we will get back to you:
- Full name (including middle names and previous names if changed since graduation)
- Date of Birth
- Student number
- Course studied
- Year of enrolment
- Year of award/graduation
- Current address
- Reason for request
Important Note: It is not always possible to provide transcripts to past students. The ability to provide a transcript will depend on the dates of study and whether detailed records are available. We can provide electronic (scanned) copies on request but hard copies will also be sent to your address above. Following the processing of your request the information provided in the email above will be deleted and will have to be provided again for any future requests. We are unable to assist with requests that relate to Homologation of Awards and Apostille certification.
Final step:
Following your initial request, the Registry team will be in touch providing a PayPal link where payments will have to be made. Once confirmation of payment is received, your request will be processed.
