The seller sent the two separately and the report hasn't arrived - thankfully the diamond has! As I have the report number is it possible to ask GIA to re-issue? Thanks for your help.

Not sure on this one, as you have the report # they might be able to reissue for a fee, here are the contact details for GIA http://www.gia.edu/about/38738/contact_us.cfm Someone might know for sure though Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Theres a limit on how old the report is allowed to be before they require a new inspection and Im not sure what the rule is but its several years. There is a token fee although it's quit a bit less than the original charges. Call em up.

Unless the diamond is rather big, I doubt it. Standard grading fees are below $200 for diamonds below 3ct, and update services (which I assume a cert reissue would come under) are a fraction of this (currently 25% indipendent of time frame).
