Most current Farsi requests involve civil, identity, legal, and academic records issued in Iran for immigration and official U.S. use, and Farsi birth certificate translation remains one of the most common packet types.
As of 28 February 2026, Iran does not appear in the HCCH Apostille Convention status table or the HCCH competent authorities list for the Apostille Convention, so Iranian public documents generally follow embassy, consular, or receiving-authority-specific legalization steps rather than apostille.
That legalization context does not replace certified translation: USCIS, courts, and universities still require a complete English translation of right-to-left text, Solar Hijri dates, booklet pages, seals, and annotations.
If you are filing in more than one destination, confirm whether you need translation only, translation plus legalization, or another authentication chain before submission.
