What if recipient rejects the transcript?

Confirm the recipient's delivery requirements (sealed, certified, portal upload) and contact the registrar to reissue with correct format; additional fees may apply.

Can someone else pick up my transcript?

Yes if you provide a signed authorization naming the designee and, where required, a copy of your ID. Some institutions require notarized authorization for third-party pickup.

Are there expedited options?
