The passport and the identity card
Armenia issues a passport and an identity card, and both carry the social security number used across state systems. The card is not a travel document for most destinations.
The passport shows no parents. Parentage lives in the civil status record held by the registration agency under the Ministry of Justice, and we name it where a client needs a family relationship proved.
The patronymic, and -yan or -ian
Armenian documents record a patronymic in the Soviet pattern, placed where a US form expects a middle name. It is not one, and newer Armenian documents increasingly omit it.
The common surname ending (-յան) appears as -yan on Armenian passports and -ian in most diaspora spellings. One family name, and this is the commonest apparent discrepancy in an Armenian-American file.
Eastern and Western Armenian, in the romanisation
Armenian has two standards with different pronunciations of the same letters, so one surname (Բարսեղյան) romanises as Barseghyan from Eastern Armenian and Parseghian from Western.
Diaspora families from Lebanon, Syria and Turkey use the Western rendering while Armenian passports use the Eastern. We reproduce both and say they are one name.
Soviet records, and displacement
Births before 1991 were registered under Soviet administration and a modern Armenian certificate restates that entry, naming the original registering authority.
For families displaced in 1915, records originate in what is now Turkey, Syria, Lebanon or Iran, and a documented surname may date from resettlement rather than from birth. See our Armenian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page with no word cap, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Does the identity card work for travel?
Not for most destinations. The passport is the travel document; both carry the social security number.
-yan or -ian?
One Armenian ending. Passports use -yan and diaspora families often -ian. The commonest apparent discrepancy in these files.
Barseghyan or Parseghian?
Eastern and Western Armenian romanisations of the same name. We reproduce both.
My passport has no patronymic but my birth certificate does.
Newer Armenian documents increasingly omit it. The form changed, not the name.
