Title: Iran Streamlines Subsidy System, Enabling Independent Registration for Citizens
In a move to enhance social welfare and administrative efficiency, Iran’s Subsidy Targeting Organization has announced a simplified process for citizens to register for independent subsidy allowances. This initiative, designed to support financial independence and social equity, leverages the integrated data systems of the National Organization for Civil Registration (NCR).
Modernizing Social Support
The new procedure is facilitated through the official government service portal, my.gov.ir, and the NCR’s website, ncr.ir. By connecting these platforms, the government has made the process of separating an individual’s subsidy from their household’s main allowance more accessible and straightforward. Officials state that the policy aims to support single individuals, bring greater order to household subsidy management, promote social justice, and address familial challenges.
Eligibility and Procedure for Single Individuals
For single individuals seeking to receive their own subsidy payment, specific criteria and a clear online process have been established.
Key conditions include:
- Being over 18 years of age.
- Providing proof of independent residence (e.g., rental agreement, occupancy certificate, or property deed).
- Possessing a personal bank account.
- Having a mobile phone number registered in their own name.
- Ensuring their identity information is accurately registered with the Civil Registry.
The step-by-step registration process is as follows:
- Access the government services portal at
my.gov.ir. - Select the “Request for Separation of Household Members” option.
- You will be redirected to the NCR system at
ncr.ir. - Submit required identity details and bank account information for verification.
- The request is then reviewed and approved by the Subsidy Targeting Organization.
- Upon approval, a new independent household is created, and the subsidy is deposited directly into the new account.
Provisions for Married Couples and Special Circumstances
The updated guidelines also outline procedures for married couples wishing to establish a new, independent household for subsidy purposes. Furthermore, specific pathways are available for individuals navigating life events such as marriage, divorce, or the passing of a family’s primary breadwinner. In all cases, requests must be processed through the designated official channels, including the hemayat.mcls.gov.ir portal for document submission and account management.
This digital overhaul of the subsidy registration process underscores the government’s commitment to utilizing technology to improve service delivery and directly support the economic well-being of its citizens.
