There are quite a few ways Jaune could have gotten fake transcripts actually.

We don't really know much about his personal or family history beyond some tidbits about his anscestors being war heroes and that he has a big family with 7 sisters. It is possible his family is somewhat wealthy or influencial and he has a few connections to people in government that could have faked the transcripts. Alternately he could just randomly know someone good enough to make a convincing forgery.

I agree with some of the others as well, there is a good chance Ozpin knew or at least suspected he faked the transcripts and decided to give the kid a shot and see how he did. Sometimes people do manage to rise to the occasion when put through a 'trial by fire'. Might be a bit irresponsible since this is potentially a lethal profession but at the same time Jaune wouldn't really have anyone to blame but himself if he got hurt.
