Records
Public Act 102-1100 created the State of Illinois High School Diploma, formerly the High School Equivalency Certificate, to recognize the completion of the GED program beginning January 1, 2023.
Our office maintains records for GED testing in Will County. To obtain copies of your official transcript or diploma, you must complete the Transcript Request Form and mail it to our office, along with a copy of valid State ID or Driver’s License. Each document has a $10 fee, which can be paid in cashier's check or money order made payable to the Will County ROE. If you would like to pick up your transcript or diploma from our office in person, please call (815) 740-8360.
