Centres that issue Icelandic course certificates

Contact the centre where you studied

Course certificates come from the adult education centres and language schools where you studied. Centres differ on whether they want a call or an email first and on what they need from you, such as your course dates. Check that the Directorate of Immigration accepts the document before you rely on it.

    Have the course name, dates and your student details available so MSS can locate the record. Explain which authority needs the document and ask that teaching hours and actual attendance be clear. Confirm whether you need an original, signed certificate, replacement or another format, and ask about any document fee and delivery time. Course tuition, graduation conditions and immigration acceptance are separate questions.
