If your transcript is sent to your personal email address, it becomes unofficial upon receipt. 

If you are waiting to be credentialed for your certificate or degree, wait until that is complete first before ordering your transcript, or make sure it is noted in your Parchment order that you want to wait. Otherwise, your certificate or degree will NOT be listed on your transcript, and then you will need to order another one to have it listed.
