Request a transcript from a school in Delaware by drafting a letter and sending it to the proper school authorities.
Requesting a high school transcript in Delaware requires the knowledge of where the transcript is housed, a valid identification card and a letter of request. Small school districts house their transcripts onsite, while urban areas have one main location. Transcripts may not be requested over the phone if they are for personal use; a faxed form or a letter is required with the proper identification attached. Transcripts requested for college admission require only a phone call or letter requesting the transcript be sent to the appropriate college.
