Find polytechnic transcript instructions on the official student-services or alumni website of the polytechnic that issued the record. Start with Singapore Polytechnic e-Services, Ngee Ann Polytechnic alumni services, Nanyang Polytechnic document requests, Temasek Polytechnic digital certificates or Republic Polytechnic OpenCerts.
Check your institution, graduation cohort and current status before choosing a route. Current students, recent graduates and alumni may use different portals, while the available record may be a hard-copy transcript, a secure digital transcript, an OpenCerts file or a replacement-document request.
Did you know an academic transcript is not automatically the same as a diploma certificate, semester-results screen or co-curricular record? Ask the receiving university, employer or agency which document it wants and how it must be sent before you order, download or print anything.

Use the polytechnic that owns the record
The issuing polytechnic is the authority for its own academic record. Its current page tells you which student or alumni service to use and whether it supplies a transcript, certificate, replacement document or verification route. Avoid assuming that one polytechnic’s process applies to the other four.
If you are still studying, first decide whether the recipient accepts a current transcript or only a final record after graduation. If you have already graduated, identify your cohort because digital availability and retrieval routes can differ. The institution’s live instructions take priority over an old email, screenshot or forum answer.
Keep a verifiable digital record in its original format
Several polytechnics issue digital certificates and transcripts through OpenCerts. For example, TP and RP direct recipients to verify the original file with the OpenCerts viewer. RP says the filename may be changed, but the .opencert extension must remain.
A printout or screenshot can be useful for reading, but it does not preserve the same verification route as the original digital file. Send the recipient exactly what it requests. If it wants a document delivered directly by the institution, follow that instruction instead of attaching your own copy.
For the equivalent post-secondary record route, see our new guide to ITE transcripts and certificates. University records use a separate university transcript route.
What to check before requesting
- The exact polytechnic and programme shown on the record.
- Your current-student, graduate or alumni category.
- Whether the recipient needs a transcript, diploma certificate or another record.
- Whether it accepts OpenCerts, a hard copy or direct institutional delivery.
- The recipient name, address, deadline and application reference.
- Whether your original digital file verifies successfully before you send it.
For enrolment rather than academic records, use our polytechnic enrolment guide. For term and examination periods, use the polytechnic academic-calendar guide.
Your next step
Copy the receiving organisation’s document wording first. Open the issuing polytechnic’s official page, choose the correct student category and request or retrieve that exact record. Test any OpenCerts file in the official viewer, keep the original file safely and retain the request confirmation.
