The administrative system of the state and province of the country influences the continuity of government. The importance of this increased by the role of states and provinces in maintaining security and meeting financial requirements. The division of the country and the administrative system of the states and the provinces started during the Achaemenid period in Iran. Iranian governments have implemented a unified administrative system to oversee state affairs throughout Islamic periods. The Safavid dynasty used a coherent administrative system to manage the affairs of the state and province. One of the officials in the administrative structure of the states and provinces was the ministry official. This research, using a historical method and descriptive-analytical approach and employing library and documentary studies, seeks to examine the position and function of the minister of state and province during the Qajar period until the end of the reign of Nāser Al-Din Shāh. The findings of this research show that ministers of the states and provinces were officials elected directly by the central government. They held the highest rank in the state and province after the governor. The minister of state and province cooperated with the governor in political, administrative, and financial decisions. If the ruler was young, the minister was responsible for managing all the affairs of the state and province.
The ministers during this period had various responsibilities, including managing military affairs, participating in wars, overseeing the finance department and taxes, supervising agricultural lands, and handling administrative affairs of states and provinces.
