Does your bc diploma get mailed

In British Columbia, Canada, the process of receiving your high school diploma after graduation is a bit different from what you might be used to. Here's what typically happens:

1. Digital Diploma: Your BC diploma is issued digitally, which means it's stored electronically in the BC Ministry of Education's database.
2. No Physical Diploma Mailed: Unlike some other provinces, the BC government does not automatically mail a physical copy of your diploma to your home address.
3. Request a Replacement Diploma: If you need a physical copy of your diploma, you can request a replacement diploma from the BC Ministry of Education. You can do this online or by mail.
4. Cost: There is a fee associated with requesting a replacement diploma, which is currently $25 (subject to change).
5. Processing Time: Once your request is received, it typically takes 4-6 weeks to process and mail your replacement diploma.

To request a replacement diploma, you can:

• Fill out the Replacement Diploma Request Form (available on the BC Ministry of Education's website) and mail it to:
  • Ministry of Education
  • Diploma Replacement
  • PO Box 9279 STN PROV GOVT
  • Victoria, BC V8W 9J2
• Or, you can request a replacement diploma online through the BC Ministry of Education's website.

Keep in mind that you may need to provide proof of identity and/or citizenship when requesting a replacement diploma.

I hope that helps clarify things!
