What Is a “Fake” (Novelty) Diploma?
“Fake diploma” commonly refers to a novelty or replica diploma intended for personal display, gifting, or props—not an official academic credential. Our replicas are produced on premium parchment-style paper with realistic design elements such as layout, typography, and seals. Using any document to misrepresent your education may be illegal; see What we don’t do.
How We Conduct Our Research
We’ve reviewed offerings across the industry to evaluate paper quality, printing methods, seals, layout accuracy, and service standards (support, secure checkout, fulfillment, and packaging). Our goal is to ensure the novelty diplomas and transcripts we provide meet high expectations for realism and presentation.
Red Flags to Avoid
- “Earn a degree in days” or life-experience credential claims
- Unrecognized “accreditation” badges or spoofed verification
- Misspelled school names or incorrect locations
- Low-resolution graphics, poor seals, or cheap paper
- No clear policies, contact details, or secure checkout

About “Verification” Services
Some sites advertise phone-based “verification” that impersonates a registrar. This practice is deceptive and should be avoided. If an employer or school needs confirmation, they will contact the institution directly using official channels.
