Nasab follows the marriage
Iranian law establishes nasab — lineage — principally through a valid marriage, including a sigheh temporary marriage, and there is no acknowledgment instrument of the civil-law kind.
So an Iranian filiation case is generally about proving that a marriage existed rather than acknowledging a child, and the documents are the marriage contract and court findings about it. We name what the instrument establishes.
The shenasnameh records the family
The shenasnameh, the identity booklet, records births, marriages and children across its pages, and the child's booklet names the parents.
So the booklet is what evidences the relationship, and a single page rarely proves anything. Send it in full and we translate every page including the blank and stamped ones.
The court, and DNA evidence
Where lineage is contested, the family court decides, and Iranian courts have admitted DNA evidence alongside the classical framework.
A judgment establishing nasab is then recorded by the civil registration organisation and the shenasnameh amended. Both belong in a filiation packet.
Solar Hijri, and the national code
Iranian documents are dated in the Solar Hijri calendar, whose year begins at the spring equinox, and we convert each date individually and show both.
The national code, ten digits with a check digit, identifies each person and does not change. We translate and certify; sanctions questions are for your counsel. See our Persian page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, 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
Is there acknowledgment of paternity in Iran?
Not in the civil-law sense. Lineage follows a valid marriage, so the case is usually about proving the marriage.
Which pages of the shenasnameh?
All of them. The booklet records births, marriages and children across its pages.
Is DNA evidence used?
Iranian courts have admitted it alongside the classical framework, and the judgment is then recorded.
