Certified Farsi marriage certificate translation services

Yes. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states: "Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English." (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)).

Our certified Farsi marriage certificate translation includes the full English translation and the signed competence statement this rule describes, so it fits a family-based filing such as the I-485 without a second request.

Yes. We regularly translate marriage certificates issued by Iranian civil registry offices (sabt-e ahval), so our native Farsi translators know the layout, the official terminology, and the way names, dates, and seals are recorded on these records.

Every name, date, and seal is rendered in full so the English version matches the rest of your application instead of raising a question.

Yes. Older Iranian vital records often carry handwritten Persian entries, and our native Farsi translators are experienced in reading them. Each handwritten name, date, and detail is rendered accurately in English rather than left out or marked illegible.

For Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) states: "If your documents are not in English or French, you must send a translation from a certified translator with your application." (IRCC Help Centre - Applying - General).

For the United Kingdom, the translation must confirm "that it's a 'true and accurate translation of the original document', the date of the translation, their full name and contact details" (GOV.UK 'Certifying a document'). Tell us the destination at checkout and we will match the right rule.

For many official uses, no. As one example, Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) requires that a translation "be prepared by a government official (for example, a Consular Officer), medical school official (for example, a Dean or Registrar), or a professional translation service. ... Additionally, applicants for ECFMG services are not permitted to translate their own documents." (ECFMG 2026 Information Booklet, English Translations section).

A professional translation service avoids that problem and gives you the signed certification the office expects.

Yes, Australia has its own rule. Department of Home Affairs (Australia) states: "Translations in Australia must be performed by a translator who is accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)." (Australian Government document translation policy).

Let us know your document is bound for Australia when you order so we can handle it under this requirement.

Sometimes, depending on where the document originates and where it will be used. Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) describes the purpose of the apostille this way: "The purpose of the Convention is to abolish the traditional requirement of legalisation, replacing the often long and costly legalisation process with the issuance of a single Apostille certificate by a Competent Authority in the place where the document originates." (Hague Apostille Convention (HCCH Convention of 5 October 1961)).

An apostille and a certified translation are separate steps. Ask us when you order and we will explain what your situation needs.

You receive a print-ready PDF formatted to match the original certificate, with the signed certification statement attached and ready to file with an immigration office, embassy, school, or other institution. Standard delivery is 48 hours from when we receive your document.
