Country & Cultural Context
The Iranian Shenasnameh (شناسنامه) is a multi-page identity booklet issued by Iran's Civil Registration Organisation. Unlike a single-page birth certificate, the Shenasnameh records births, marriages, divorces, and children throughout a person's lifetime. It uses the Solar Hijri (Shamsi) calendar. Iran is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Iranian documents require embassy legalisation rather than an apostille.
Document Format
The Shenasnameh contains: full name in Farsi (Perso-Arabic script), date and place of birth in the Solar Hijri calendar, parents' names, national ID number, and pages recording marriages, divorces, and children.
