Certified Translation of Birth Certificates from Iran

What is a shenasnameh?

A shenasmaneh or شناسنامه is an Iranian birth certificate that is issued by the department of national registration and statistics of each province in Iran. It looks like a small booklet. It is a type of document that many Iranians commonly submit to USCIS.

Who needs a certified translation of their birth certificate?

Every year USCIS receives applications for various types of visas. Individuals who hold a foreign-language birth certificate commonly learn that they have to get a certified translation for their personal documents. Many people who contact us about our certified translation services for visa applications are not familiar with the guideline of immigration authorities. They request a translation that is acceptable for immigration purposes. They sometimes ask for a “sworn”, “official”, or “legal” translation when they mean a “certified” translation. We have translated dozens of birth certificates and other documents for immigration law firms and others who have used our certified translations for their applications. We follow the guidelines of USCIS for our certified translations.

I am working on US visa applications. Can CACFTI help me with the translation of my Iranian birth certificate?
Yes, of course! We have translated many Farsi birth certificates into English for US visa and green card applications. We have extensive experience in the translation of vital records for US immigration. We guarantee that USCIS accepts our certified translations. We have translated birth certificates that were issued by the Imperial State of Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1979 as well as birth certificates issued by the Islamic Republic of Iran after the revolution. We have also translated the new national ID cards that Iran has been issuing recently. Depending on when it was issued the first page of an Iranian birth certificate would look like one of the following images:

Does CACFTI notarize translations for USCIS?

For USCIS you only need a certified translation. You do NOT need a notarized translation. If you would like to have the translations notarized anyway, we will be happy to do so for an additional fee. Please mention that in your email so we can quote and include that in the order.

Can I submit my relatives’ birth certificates for translation or the birth certificate holder has to be present during the translation process?
You can scan or take a picture the birth certificate in question and email it to us. We do not require the birth certificate holder to email us his/her own document or drop it off at our office. The birth certificate holder does not have to be present while we translate the document. USCIS accepts photocopies of official documents.

How does CACFTI translate Iranian birth certificates for USCIS?
All of our translations are completed by professional translators and certified for USCIS. Translations that we complete for USCIS are prepared according to the guidelines of USCIS.

Difference between Iranian and Afghan birth certificates
Our translators can handle the translation of official documents issued in Iran and Afghanistan. Although the two countries share a border, they issue birth certificates that are completely different from each other. Birth certificates from Afghanistan provide information about the birth certificate holder’s height and eye color, something that Iranian birth certificates do not cover. Whereas an afghan birth certificate includes a section on the birth certificate holder’s father’s military service details, an Iranian birth certificate usually only mentions the father’s first name and birth certificate number. We have ample experience in the translation of birth certificates from Iran and Afghanistan. We look forward to having the opportunity to assist you too.

What if I need multiple documents including a divorce decree translated for US immigration?
Our translators who possess extensive experience with USCIS translations can translate multiple documents without any issues. Please email all the documents you need translated to info@cacfti.com for a quote. We look forward to assisting you with your certified translation needs.

I need help figuring out what documents need to be translated for my application. I also have questions about U.S. immigration laws. Can CACFTI help me?
While we are very happy to answer your questions about the translation process and translate your documents, we cannot provide legal advice or answer legal questions. We cannot comment on whether or not you will need a particular document translated for your application. Furthermore, we cannot comment on what parts of a document you need translated. Therefore, we suggest that you gather the proper information about the requirements of your application before contacting us. We do not recommend that you make guesses because you might end up providing the wrong documentation and delaying the process. Immigration lawyers can probably assist you with those questions. Once you have figured out what documents you need translated, please contact us.

What types of documents has CACFTI translated for USCIS?
We have translated various documents including divorce certificates, marriage certificates, birth certificates, bank statements, diplomas, etc. Our translators who specialize in the translation of documents from foreign languages to English are interested in hearing from you if you need certified translations for immigration matters.

Court Approved Arabic Translator

Leave a reply

American companies in the oil and gas sector that have formed a business relationship with an entity in the Middle East usually rely on a contract to establish the obligations of each party. Before they begin their partnership they might draft a contract in the Arabic language. Arabic speakers on their team could assist them in the process of writing the agreement. The parties should just make sure that the Arabic speakers on their team are familiar with the legal language and can help them prepare a legally binding agreement.

Why should the American party provide an Arabic language agreement to the party in the Middle East?

If disputes arise during the course of business and the parties want to take the case to a court in Los Angeles or other cities in the United States they probably need to show that the Arabic speaking party understood the contract. If they only provide a contract in the English language the Arabic speaking party can claim that they did not understand the terms of the agreement. Once the parties decide to settle the dispute through the court system they should seek the assistance of a court approved Arabic translator. Courts in the United States use the English language document to determine whether or not the plaintiff’s allegations have merit.

Why Assign the Task to a Court Approved Translator?

Cases related to breach of contract are often very sensitive. As a result, they require the attention of a detail-oriented translator who is familiar with the industry. Court appointed translators usually have keen eyes and can effectively translate sensitive documents. For example, an oil company’s agreement might deal with the sale and distribution of oil in various markets. The translator who executes the translation of such a document must know the technical terms pertaining to the oil industry and capture the exact meaning of the original document in its translation. The parties should make sure that their translator has a strong background in the subject matter.

How Can CACFTI Help with Court Document Translations?
