Take it to a place with a tester.

The reason i said take it to get tested is because just knowing the voltage doesn't mean anything, the alt needs to be able to put out enough amps, it should also have the diodes checked, all of which can be done insantly with a tester. The voltage from an alt will vary from one to another but around 13.5 is normal.
