Prometric's U.S. Foreign Policy Compliance Statement, which the company states applies as of 24 September 2026, prohibits Prometric from delivering tests through any modality in Iran. For citizens of Iran tested outside Iran, section B of the statement permits delivery "only when all of the following conditions are satisfied": the individual is tested outside Iran; the individual's current identification shows an address outside Iran; payment for the test originates outside Iran; and test results are forwarded to an address outside Iran. The statement supplies its own failing example — an Iranian citizen who presents at a test centre in a non-sanctioned country with identification showing an Iranian address and payment drawn on an Iranian bank may not be tested unless the transaction is otherwise authorised by OFAC.
The statement sets out the authority. It states that OFAC suspended the effectiveness of Iran General License G indefinitely, effective 24 August 2026, and that General License G had previously authorised the administration of professional certificate examinations and university entrance examinations to individuals located in Iran or ordinarily resident in Iran. The wind-down authorisation issued at the same time, General License BB, was available only through 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on 8 September 2026. Prometric states that as of 24 September 2026 it may rely on neither licence to deliver testing services to individuals in Iran, or to individuals outside Iran who are ordinarily resident in Iran.
The statement also limits how far the restriction reaches. Prometric states that the suspension of General License G does not, by itself, prohibit every transaction involving an Iranian citizen located outside Iran, and that the permissibility of such a transaction must instead be determined under the applicable sanctions authorities — the individual's current residence, the location and source of payment, the destination of test results, and whether any party to the transaction is a blocked person. Prometric adds that where an Iran-related testing transaction does not clearly fall within a current authorisation, it must not proceed without review by the Prometric Legal Department.
