Lost High School Transcript: Can It Be Re-issued as an Original Copy?
According to Item No. 55 in the Annex of the Table of Retention Periods for Professional Documents in the Education Sector Attached to Circular 27/2016/TT-BGDDT, the regulation is as follows:
For student transcripts, the retention period will be returned to the student upon graduation or transfer.
Therefore, in your case, the school's handling is completely reasonable as the transcript will be returned to the student upon graduation or transfer. Hence, your request to re-issue the original copy is not possible.
