Persian translator

They are three closely related Persian variants that share much vocabulary and grammar but differ in script and legal context. Farsi (Iran, fa-IR) and Dari (Afghanistan, fa-AF / `prs`) use the Perso-Arabic script; Tajik (Tajikistan, `tg`) uses Cyrillic. We never swap them automatically and choose the variant based on the country of origin, because an Afghan file translated as Iranian Farsi reads wrong to its intended reader.

Yes. As a Persian translation agency we provide certified translation — a signed and dated statement of accuracy with our contact details — for Home Office and UKVI immigration files, asylum applications and family reunification. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so this certified statement is the standard form of official acceptance. Where a body asks for more, we escalate to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO. We confirm the required level in the quote.

Iran is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), so an apostille is not available for an Iranian-issued document — it requires full consular legalisation instead. For the UK-issued side of a document chain, legalisation runs through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office; see [GOV.UK — get a document legalised](https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised). We point you to the correct route and deliver a translation that the receiving authority accepts.

We use the Perso-Arabic script of 32 letters, in line with the Academy of Persian Language and Literature (Tehran). For romanisation we follow UN romanisation or ALA-LC, depending on the destination. We match the spelling of names per assignment to the passport or source document, so an authority sees no discrepancy between your documents.

Common cases are asylum statements, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, judgments and medical reports. We also translate commercial contracts and cultural and creative texts. UK-specific cases we handle often are Home Office and UKVI immigration documents, university admissions assessed by UK ENIC and HMCTS court documents. We confirm the approach and any certification per document in the quote.

We combine native specialist translators with a structured QA layer: a terminology list, calendar and transliteration checks, and a second review where the legal field, risk profile or volume requires it. CAT tools (Trados, memoQ, Phrase TMS) keep terminology and the spelling of names consistent across your files, and a translation memory keeps follow-up work aligned and lowers the cost over time.

A Persian translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We decide whether your file calls for Farsi (Iran) or Dari (Afghanistan), select a specialist who knows the Perso-Arabic script and the legal context, arrange certification, notarisation or consular legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked by a second reviewer. You keep one point of contact for variant, terminology, legalisation, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
