The envelope should be sealed by the issuing authority with a seal, stamp, and signature of an official on the back flap.
The official documents in sealed envelopes can be sent to University of Iceland by mail or courier service either by the issuing authority or by the applicant, but must arrive sealed . If the envelope is opened or there is no stamp or signature across the back flap, UI cannot accept the document .
