Order your Replacement Diploma
Preferred Name
When ordering Parchment will ask you if you would like a preferred name on your diploma, see the guidelines below for this option:
Certificates and Diplomas are considered ceremonial documents. Therefore, we will print your preferred name on your certificate or diploma, but you must indicate as such on your graduation application. We will not automatically print your preferred name on your certificate/diploma. However, please be aware that using a preferred name on your certificate/diploma may result in rejection, delay, scrutiny, and/or requirements for additional proof of identification associated with your application for employment, licensure, credentialing, visa application, and/or other processes that require verification of your education records. Your legal name will appear on your transcript as that is a legal document.
Some examples of preferred name options for a certificate/diploma can include:
- First name, initial, or an alternate form of first name
- First name “preferred name” last name - Michael “Mike” Smith
- First name (preferred name) last name - Michael (Mike) Smith
- Preferred name last name - Mike Smith
- First name which conforms with the graduates genuine expression of gender identity
- Middle name, initial, or omission of middle name all together
- If graduate has multiple last names or a hyphenated last name, graduates can choose to only list one last name
We will not print additional last names or an entirely different last name than what is in our system unless you complete a legal name change form.
