Application
You can send your application electronically
- If it is possible for us to verify your documents online through an online database, or if your documents include an electronic signature, you can submit your documents here and receive a formal, signed verification of your education. We do not contact your school to get verification of your degree unless we need further information regarding your education.
- If you wish to receive an electronic evaluation of your education where it is stated that the evaluation is based on a scanned version of your documents. This electronic evaluation may be used when you provide your educational institution or employer with your educational documents.
If your documents cannot be verified online but you still wish to receive a formal, signed statement from us, you need to fill out the application form and then bring to our office, or send by post, a certified copy (or originals) of your educational documents.
Document requirements
When you send in an application you must enclose the following documents:
- Diploma(s)/certificate(s) in the original language.
- Transcript(s), mark sheets or similar list(s) of subjects passed, in the original language. If no such transcript etc. is available, please list in your own words the subjects studied and passed.

The Icelandic ENIC/NARIC Information Center may ask you for further documentation.
Formal, signed assessment
If you wish to receive a formal assessment from us, all educational documents must be digitally verifiable. Otherwise you will have to submit copies of original documents at our office.
Original documents
The Icelandic ENIC/NARIC Information Centre reserves the right to demand the submission of original documents. The request for original documents is due to the fact that the agency often finds it necessary to ask holders of qualifications from the countries listed above to submit original documents in order to provide a sufficient basis for our assessment.
Sending original documents
In case you send in original documents by post, you must send them by registered letter post (“ábyrgðarbréf”). We always return original documents by registered post.
Translation requirements
Documents in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English require no translation.
By sending the application you certify that the information given in the application is correct and that the enclosures are authentic documents relating to you. The Icelandic ENIC/NARIC Information Center may hand any forged documents to the police.
