Iran Legalization of Documents

Iran | Document authentication

Capital City: Tehran

Whether you have found a new job, opening a business or looking to move to Iran, we can help you legalize your personal or business documents at the Iranian Interest Section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington D.C.

Authentication of Documents

Documents that will be used in Iran have to be legalized by the Iranian Interest Section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, D.C. (WDC). We undertake document authentication on behalf of the client, significantly reducing the turnaround time and making the entire process fast, efficient and effortless. Having dealt with thousands of authentication cases, we use our experience to review the requirements for each document. We have established a solid working relationship with many foreign embassies and government offices located in Washington, D.C. We have developed a reputation of reliability, professionalism and personal attention.

1. The procedure to authenticate the different types of documents is as follows:

A.Academic documents, business documents, etc.

The document is received by Roca Authentications LLC

A public notary notarizes the document.*
The secretary of the state certifies the document.*
The US Department of State (USDOS) in WDC authenticates document.
The Iranian Interest Section of the Pakistani Embassy legalize the document.

*Steps 1 and 2 may be done in the state in which the document was issued. However, we are able to complete these two steps here in Washington D.C on your behalf.

B. Personal Documents (vital records)

All personal documents, birth, death, marriage, divorce decrees, etc. must first be certified by the respective secretary of state in which they were issued. Following this they must be authenticated by the US Department of State (USDOS) and embassy here in Washington, DC.

C. Federal Documents

Notarization or state certification is not required for these documents. The original documents can be authenticated by the USDOS as they are, without additional certifications. Example: FBI background checks, certificate of naturalization, IRS form 6166, etc. Then they can be presented to the embassy for legalization.
