The phenomenon of certificate selling with a medical license number in Iran: Become a dentist with 1 billion tomans
In its Wednesday edition, the Etemad newspaper examined the phenomenon of selling academic certificates with official verification in a report titled ‘One Month to Becoming a Doctor with Just 60 Million’.
According to this report, a certificate seller told an Etemad reporter that the cost for a dentistry degree with a plan and a medical license code is 1 billion and 200 million tomans. It takes about 50 working days. The documents are archived within the relevant university and can be officially verified both in writing and online from the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Health. The costs are received in two installments: part at the beginning and the rest when the verification is shown to you, settling the remaining costs.
According to this seller, the certificate that the buyer receives is from Azad University with an official translation and approval from the judiciary and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the cost of obtaining it is 60 million tomans. He says that in the past two or three years, he has prepared many certificates for applicants for Canadian visas, and none have had any issues with verification or legal matters so far.
