Process
- The test-taker completes and sends the application and required fee to the Lt. Governor’s Office;
- The Utah State Office of Education informs the Lt. Governor’s Office of the test-taker’s intent; and
- At the request of the Lt. Governor’s office the USOE provides a signed and stamped GED Official Transcript of GED Tests Results and certificate or diploma to the Lt. Governor’s office where the documents will be endorsed and the USOE seal and signature validated as genuine.
