Florida Automated System for Transferring Educational Records

FASTER and its interface to SPEEDE/ExPRESS

FASTER and SPEEDE/ExPRESS are sets of predefined data formats used by educational institutions to electronically exchange student records and transcripts. Institutions must subscribe to the FASTER and/or SPEEDE/ExPRESS systems in order to participate in this exchange.

• We accept transcripts only when submitted by authorized institutions in the FASTER or SPEEDE/ExPRESS formats.
• If you are a transcript service provider sending a secured PDF transcript, please address it to the receiving institution's registrar's office.
• If sending for educator certification purposes, authorized service providers can address the secured transcripts to EdCertTranscripts@fldoe.org.
• Transcripts cannot be accepted if sent as an unsecure attachment and/or from an individual’s email account.

• High schools with questions regarding missing or rejected transcripts should first contact their district offices BEFORE contacting the Florida Department of Education. Districts receive an Edit Error Report each time they submit transcripts and can provide information regarding the processing of transcripts. In addition, transcripts which are processed by FASTER but fail Bright Futures edits are listed on the district's Incoming Aging Report.
