Farsi Translation Services

DHCTranslations translates Farsi documents into certified English for clients across the UK, working from scans uploaded through the secure portal. Iranian, Afghan and Tajik records are all handled, and the finished PDF arrives with a signed certification page.

A single Farsi certificate starts from £40 per document, and longer files are priced from £0.09 per word after 400 words. Notarisation and FCDO apostille are quoted separately, because each depends on the document. The amount is confirmed in writing before any work starts. The £0.09 rate is for translation into English; English into Farsi starts from £0.10 per word.

Same-day completion is available for most Farsi documents when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day. Orders confirmed later, or at a weekend or on a bank holiday, start the next working day.

Iranian records use the Solar Hijri calendar, so every date is converted to Gregorian and printed with the original beside it. Persian numerals are rendered as Western digits. The conversion is checked twice, because a mismatched birth date is the most common reason a Home Office file is queried.

It is the Iranian birth booklet, and yes. The birth entry, national ID number, photographs, marriage and divorce notes and any name-change annotations are all translated, because UK caseworkers read the margins as carefully as the main page.

Yes. Afghan birth certificates, marriage papers and educational documents are handled, including ministry seals and Afghan calendar dates. Dari and Iranian Persian share the script but differ in vocabulary, so the translator is matched to the country of issue.

Persian names take several English forms, and the spelling on a passport may not match the certificate. We settle one form per person, align it with the passport when supplied, and reuse it across the whole order so the file reads as one identity.

No. Clear scans or photographs are enough to begin, and the certified translation comes back by email as a PDF. Where a court, embassy or registry asks for a paper copy, tracked hard copies can be posted to any address in the UK or overseas.

Yes. Tajik documents are written in Cyrillic and are translated by a Persian speaker who reads that script, while pre-1979 Iranian records use older terminology and handwriting that needs a specialist eye. Both are quoted once the pages have been seen.

Yes, but not the Farsi original: the FCDO legalises only a UK-issued document, or our own notarised translation of the Farsi one. Notarisation comes first, in London, and the apostille is applied to that notarised English document. Both stages are quoted separately and neither is automatic.
