What We Don’t Provide

Prohibited Degree Types

At Diploma Company, we uphold strict guidelines regarding the documents we produce. We do not offer printing services for law or medical degrees, aviation licenses, state board-issued licenses, or government-issued credentials.

We do not create documents for:

• Law degrees (JD, LLB, LLM)
• Medical degrees (MD, DO, DDS, PharmD)
• Professional licenses (CPA, CPB, nursing licenses, real estate licenses)
• Aviation certifications or pilot licenses
• State or federal government-issued credentials

Additionally, we refrain from creating documents for degrees such as CPA, CPB, CPM, or similar professional certification requests.

We reserve the right to decline any order if we suspect it will be used unlawfully or pose a risk to public safety. Upholding ethical standards and legal compliance is paramount to us, and we take such matters seriously to ensure responsible business practices.

Restricted Institutions

Certain educational institutions have requested that we not reproduce documents featuring their names or trademarks. We honor these requests to respect intellectual property rights.

Before ordering, please verify your institution is not on our restricted list. If you order a restricted institution, we will contact you to offer a full refund or help you select an alternative institution at no additional charge.

Can you send transcripts in sealed envelopes?

While our novelty or replacement transcripts are designed with great attention to detail, we do not provide them in sealed registrar envelopes. Those are reserved for accredited institutions only. Instead, we focus on delivering your order securely: every transcript is packaged in reinforced flat mailers to protect against bends or damage. This ensures your document arrives safely and in pristine condition.

For more details, see our Shipping & Delivery Guide

Do you offer verification services?

No, we do not provide verification services for our documents. While our documents are highly realistic, we do not condone the falsification of records or misuse of our services and therefore, we cannot provide verification services that would imply our documents are verified for certification, accreditation, or identification. Further details regarding the intended use of our products and services, are outlined in our Terms and Conditions. This disclaimer must be agreed to during the ordering process.

Do you use real school seals and real signatures?

Sample images in our gallery are demonstration prints to showcase design skills — not photos of past customer orders. Every order is reviewed individually to balance realism with responsibility. All orders include proofs and our 90-day satisfaction guarantee.

Do your documents infringe on copyrights?

No — we take copyright and trademark laws seriously. Emblems, seals, and logos belonging to schools or government bodies are often protected. We do not include them unless proper authorization is provided. When needed, our designers make slight adjustments to artwork/layout to remain compliant.

Can these be used to apply for a job, verify identity, or prove academic credentials?

Absolutely not. Our products carry no official or legal standing and must never be used to misrepresent academic or professional achievement. They are intended only for personal display, replacement/keepsake, duplication/restoration, or theatrical use.

Why are your items called “fake”?

Our custom documents — including diplomas, transcripts, and certificates — are often referred to or labeled as “fake” because they are not issued by accredited educational institutions. Only schools can provide official diplomas and transcripts. Our replicas are designed to resemble what might be on file with a school, but they are not affiliated with or endorsed by any educational body.

How we protect against misuse

The ease with which some websites allow users to “self-construct” diplomas or certificates using automated templates is concerning. For a small subscription fee, anyone can type in the name of an institute—and generate documents like medical or law degrees—without any oversight or verification. This irresponsible practice floods the job market with documents that can be misused.

At Diploma Company, we take a very different and far more responsible approach. Every order is manually reviewed and approved to ensure it complies with our strict safe-use policies. Our work is strictly limited to display, novelty, or entertainment purposes. Requests that attempt to misrepresent academic or professional achievement are refused outright. With nearly two decades of experience, we believe that human oversight is essential to protect our customers, maintain industry integrity, and ensure society at large is not harmed by misuse.

Why do you mention schools & jobs in your description?

From time to time, you may see us reference schools or the idea of using our novelty documents for jobs in our descriptions. This is because people often search for those terms online when looking for these types of services. Including them helps users find our website and realistic replica products. These references are not suggestions for actual school or job use, but rather examples of how versatile our services can be—as they are perfect for role-playing, personal display, or professional props.

Important: Our documents are not official records and should never be presented as professional credentials. They are provided strictly for novelty, display, or entertainment purposes. These references simply help ensure the right customers find us.

Why Diploma Company Is Not a Diploma Mill

Diploma Mills falsely promise credentials that are not earned through accredited institutions. According to Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), a diploma mill is a fraudulent entity that sells degrees or diplomas claiming to be legitimate documents, often based on unverifiable criteria or life experience. Diploma Company is not a diploma mill. We do not sell education or claim that our products provide any academic or professional credentials. Our work is provided as high-quality replicas and novelty documents for personal use and display, holding strictly entertainment value.
