Reprint availability and time limits depend on the store's point-of-sale system, so the sooner you ask after the purchase, the better.

Recreating a receipt for a real purchase — for your records, an expense report or replacing a lost copy — is legitimate. Using a fabricated receipt to deceive anyone is not.
