What a certified Farsi translation costs
Certified translations start at $54 per document: from $0.12 per word after the first 400 words into English, and from $0.14 per word for English into another language, with some pairs quoted higher.
Certification is the translator's signed statement, and it is included in the price.
A translation for USCIS, a US court or a US university is certified by the translator's signed statement, and nothing further is added to the quote.

What a certified Farsi translation is built from
An order comes back with a signed statement of accuracy: who translated it, which script the original used, the date, and a line accounting for any date conversion on the page.
What the certification includes
- Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
- Solar Hijri dates: an Iranian date is converted and printed on the same line as its Gregorian equivalent, and Persian digits are given in Western form so a date can be read without counting.
- Margins and later entries: a booklet gains divorce notes, a child's birth and corrections to a name after it is issued, and each of those is rendered where it sits rather than gathered into a summary at the back.
- Certified PDF: the certified file is emailed at no extra cost, which is what a US filing accepts. A printed set can be arranged if a receiving body insists on paper, and is quoted per order.

The Farsi records that reach a US file
Iranian civil status rests on a booklet rather than a single sheet, and the same paper carries a different name in Iran, in Afghanistan and among families who left decades ago. The table shows the Persian wording and what the English does with each document.
Birth booklet
- What usually appears
- شناسنامه, a stitched booklet holding the birth entry, the national ID number and pages added later
- What we do with it
- Translated sheet by sheet, with the office, the number and each later annotation left in the position it occupies
Marriage contract
- What usually appears
- عقدنامه, with the dower (مهریه) written in figures and in words, the witnesses and the registry seal
- What we do with it
- Both dower entries carried over in full, with the columns read in the order the registrar printed them
Police clearance
- What usually appears
- گواهی عدم سوء پیشینه, issued with a reference number, a stamp and often a photograph
- What we do with it
- Translated complete, with the reference kept, the photograph noted in brackets and the date converted
Degree and marks
- What usually appears
- دانشنامه and ریز نمرات, with marks out of 20 and the university seal
- What we do with it
- Each subject and score reproduced, with the 20-point scale explained in a translator's note
The booklet is what most families send, and it is not a certificate in the American sense: marriages, divorces and children are entered into it over a lifetime. The English follows the booklet's own sequence, so a reviewer can turn to the page the description mentions.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations handles Farsi and Persian documents in the US, including Iranian birth certificates, transcripts and identity cards, and each translation is certified with a signed statement.
Upload a scan or photograph of every page through our portal and say which office will read the English. DHCTranslations replies with a fixed price, then emails the signed translation as a PDF, usually the same day when payment clears before 4pm ET.
$54 covers one document of up to 400 words with the certificate and PDF included, and each further word is $0.12 into English. English into Farsi is $0.14 per word. A set of booklets is priced on the combined word count, quoted in writing first.
A single-page record paid before 4pm ET on a weekday is normally emailed the same day. A booklet with later entries, or a full transcript, takes one business day, and a court file or a long academic record is given a firm date in the quote.
The whole record in English, plus a signed statement identifying the translator, their competence, the date and how to reach them; 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) sets that requirement, and our certificate page supplies each element in a form an officer can check.
Yes. Yes. Every Solar Hijri date is converted to Gregorian and printed with the original beside it, and Persian numerals become Western digits. Dates are checked twice, since a birth date that disagrees with a form is the usual reason a file draws a request for evidence.
Yes, all of it: the birth entry, the national ID number, photographs, and the marriage, divorce and name-change notes added later. Reviewers here read the margins as closely as the front page, so nothing is condensed into a summary.
Yes, Persian-language papers from Herat, Kabul and the wider diaspora are translated here, with ministry seals and Afghan dates kept as issued. A record written in Pashto belongs on the Pashto page, where the translator reads that language natively.
One form is chosen for each person and reused on every page of the order. Where a passport or a green card already fixes a spelling, that version leads, because an officer comparing two documents has to see the same name in both.
Both are accepted. Tajik papers are in Cyrillic and go to a Persian reader who works in that script, while older Iranian records use vocabulary and handwriting that need a specialist eye. Each is priced once the pages have been seen.
Yes, at $0.14 per word. US birth certificates, court orders and affidavits are the usual orders, for an office in Iran, an embassy or a family filing, and the Farsi is written in the register the receiving office expects.
No. Originals stay with you: clear images of every page are all we need to start. A filing in the United States rests on the certificate signed by the translator, and a paper traveling on to Iran is attested there instead.
Yes. The PDF arrives first by email at no extra charge, and a printed set is quoted on request before payment and sent by USPS with tracking, postage included in the figure you approve.
