If you earned your academic credentials from a public university under the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT) in Iran, follow the steps outlined below.
- Begin by getting a verification from MSRT. You can do this by visiting their portal: https://portal.saorg.ir/inquiry/
- Once you have the MSRT-verification code, take your original documents to a translator authorized by the Ministry of Justice for accurate translation. Have the translations validated by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Finally, have your university attest/stamp and sign photocopies of your transcripts in Farsi. They should then place both the attested official documents in Farsi and their translations in an institutional envelope for you.
