CHSPE Orders—Transcripts and Duplicate Certificates
A Transcript or Duplicate Certificate will not be provided if your CHSPE account is not paid in full.
If you have passed the CHSPE, you may order an official transcript or duplicate certificate, if needed.

A transcript is an official letter that certifies that you have passed the test.

All test takers that pass the CHSPE will receive a certificate. Duplicates can be ordered as needed.
Required Documentation
Employers and schools have different requirements regarding the type of documentation they require. If you are having the CHSPE Office send records to a third party, you should contact that party to ensure you are sending the type of documentation they require.
