Modernization of the Duplicate Diploma & Education Verification Request Processes

The Tennessee Department of Education handles public requests for duplicate diplomas and education verifications, which have historically been processed using paper forms. Currently, the department is transitioning from a paper-based system to a digital format to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.

To support this change, the department is asking districts to remove any direct links to paper forms on their websites. Instead, districts should link to the department’s duplicate diploma and education verification webpage, where both the paper forms and the new online request form will be available.
