Verification of Credentials for Graduates of the School of Medicine
All requests for verification of your Doctor of Medicine degree must be submitted in writing with an original signature. We do not accept fax requests. All requests should be addressed to:

Office of Registration/Student Records
New York University School of Medicine
550 First Avenue, NY, NY 10016

Transcripts:
Official transcripts are sent only to third party programs, institutions, licensing boards, etc. Our policy is not to send official transcripts to graduates however you may request an unofficial transcript for your records. When making your request please be sure to include a full name and address to which the document should be sent. There is a $4.00 fee for each of the transcripts you request. The check should be made payable to New York University School of Medicine. This is the only document for which we charge a fee.

Dean's Letters:
Some programs or institutions ask you to provide a copy of your dean's letter. This request must be submitted in writing along with the complete name and address of the addressee and the institution to which it is being sent. There is no fee.

State Licensure Verification:
It is our policy to fulfill your written request quickly and to maintain accurate documentation of any disbursement of academic records. We cannot advise you regarding individual state licensure rules. However, we do suggest that you carefully read the instructions provided with the licensure forms to determine if the state requires a transcript to be sent at the time of application. If so, please submit a written request with the licensure form requesting the transcript. It is best to have these documents sent together directly to the Board.

Diploma Certification:
Only one diploma is issued for each graduate. No copy exits unless you have it made from your original. If you decide to make multiple copies before your frame your diploma please keep them in a secure location. It should not be notarized or certified until necessary. If you provide us with a copy of the diploma we will issue a statement indicating that the diploma is a "true copy." However, some licensing boards require the copy be notarized. If so you will have to take it to a notary. You can usually find one in a bank. It is always best to do exactly as instructed when dealing with state licensure boards. Please donÃt make assumptions.

Certification of Graduation:
You may, by downloading and completing the Request for Document form, request that a Certification of Graduation be forwarded to you or an institution or program. However, all hospitals and medical organizations are required to verify your degree at the primary source. Most hospitals have a form that is sent to the medical school for verification of a degree. Please provide them with the address above.

Request for Documents:
You may send us a letter with your document request. We always enjoy hearing from our graduates. Or, you may use our request form.
