What is an Official Transcript?

An "official transcript" is a legal document. The document will possess an embossed Lincoln Lutheran seal and an official signature. Transcripts should typically be sent to an organization, college, or university directly from Lincoln Lutheran either via US mail or through direct upload to a college/university admissions website.

What is an Unofficial Transcript?

An "unofficial transcript" is not a legal document. The document will neither be embossed with the Lincoln Lutheran seal nor signed with an official signature. Unofficial transcripts are typically used for a student or parent's personal records, and at times can be sent to outside institutions provided that the institutions specifically indicate that an "unofficial transcript" is acceptable. 

Transcripts issued directly to a parent or a student will be stamped with "Issued to Student".  These transcripts are also considered "unofficial".
