International Request and Release Authorization Form
For the recognition of foreign education from certain countries, a transcript must be sent directly from the educational institution to HK-dir in a sealed envelope.
You must request the educational institution to send the transcript to us via regular mail or through courier services such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.
If you apply for more than one recognition scheme, you only need to request a directly sent transcript to us once.
Address for regular mail:

Address for courier services:
The Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (HK-dir), RECOGNITION, SendSmart Solutions, Ploens gate 2B, NO-0181 Oslo, Norway.
If the educational institution is in the USA or Canada, they can send us the transcript through digital services such as Parchment, Student Clearinghouse, and MyCreds, to recognition@hkdir.no.
