Professional Farsi Translation Services UK

Farsi (Persian) is spoken by over 110 million people worldwide, primarily in Iran, Afghanistan (as Dari), and Tajikistan. The UK has a significant Iranian diaspora, with established communities in London, Manchester, and other major cities. Many Iranians have settled in the UK for education, business, and family reasons, creating consistent demand for certified Farsi translation of official documents for UK immigration, professional registration, and legal purposes.

Our Farsi translation service covers all official documents from Iran and other Persian-speaking countries. We understand Iranian administrative systems, including documents issued by the Sabt-e Ahval (Civil Registry Organisation), Vezarat-e Amur-e Kharejeh (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and Iranian courts. Our translators are familiar with the specific formats and terminology used in Iranian official documents, ensuring accurate translations that UK authorities accept without question.

Whether you need translation for a UK visa application, professional qualification recognition, university admission, or business purposes, we provide certified translations that meet all Home Office and official UK requirements. Our Farsi translators are native speakers with expertise in legal, academic, and official document translation.

We translate all types of Farsi/Persian documents:

• Civil registry documents — شناسنامه (birth certificate/identity booklet), سند ازدواج (marriage certificate), گواهی فوت (death certificate) from Iranian Civil Registry
• Identity documents — Iranian passports (گذرنامه), national ID cards (کارت ملی), driving licences (گواهینامه رانندگی)
• Academic credentials — University degrees (مدرک دانشگاهی), diplomas, transcripts from Iranian universities and schools

All translations include certification accepted by UK authorities for immigration and official use.

Accurate Farsi translation requires specific expertise:

• RTL script — Farsi uses a modified Arabic script written right-to-left. Our translators ensure accurate reading and translation of all Farsi text
• Persian calendar — Iranian documents use the Solar Hijri calendar (e.g., 1402 instead of 2023). We convert dates accurately to Gregorian format
• Shenasnameh format — The Iranian identity booklet (شناسنامه) is a unique document combining birth certificate and family registry. We translate all pages accurately
• Legal terminology — Iranian legal documents use specific terminology from the Iranian Civil Code. Our translators understand this specialist vocabulary
• Name transliteration — Persian names can be romanised in multiple ways. We ensure consistency with existing UK documents where possible
• Regional variations — We also translate Dari (Afghan Persian) and Tajik Persian, understanding the vocabulary differences between these varieties

Our Farsi translators understand both Iranian bureaucratic systems and UK official requirements, ensuring your documents are translated accurately and accepted first time.
