Iranian Issuance of Birth Certificate Through Proof of Paternal Identity for Children (18 and Over)
Regarding issuance of Iranian birth certificate and passport for a child (18 and over) whose father is deceased or refuses to cooperate, please note that you must first obtain proof of paternal identity. To do so, you must first forward the following documents to Interest Section of Iran in Washington DC, to be verified. They will then be returned to you upon completion so that you can send them to Iran to go through the Iranian Judicial system by your appointed attorney. After obtaining the proof of paternal identity, you should again contact the embassy to apply for Iranian birth certificate and passport. This process will take about 3 years and you need to hire experienced and professional attorney.
(In verdicts regarding proof of identity issued by the court, the name, surname, birth certificate number, and date of birth of both parents must be indicated)
Required documents:
