Each academic institution has a different transcript release procedure. Most institutions require a written signature as well as a fee.
Some institutions accept a faxed written release while others require a letter.
No documents will be accepted from individuals. No document stored in our system can be changed or manipulated in any fashion. We assign every document that we receive an encoded series of identifying numbers. This series of numbers is much like a human fingerprint, in that it uniquely identifies each document in our system. If a document is altered in any way, this fingerprint will be compromised.
