Court interpreter for Persian language – Farsi, Persian script and documents from Iran

We make translations from Persian to Croatian for personal, legal, educational, technical and business documents. A court interpreter for the Persian language is contracted after checking the script, variant, source and target languages and the request of the recipient. After reviewing the complete document, we send you a quote covering the scope, total price, deadline and delivery arrangements.

Before starting, let’s distinguish Iranian Farsi from Dari and other related forms that are written in a similar script. Official documents may contain dates according to the solar Hijri calendar, handstamps, and a Latin notation of names that differs from the transcription. All these elements should be aligned with the purpose of delivery. An overview of related services can be found on the page Asian languages.

Persian documents by type of procedure and country of issue

The most common are diplomas, grade transcripts, birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, court decisions and residence documents. Companies order contracts, certificates, technical and commercial documentation. If the document is from Afghanistan, the translation should not be automatically ordered as Farsi; first it is determined whether it is Dari or another language.

Types of Persian documents in personal and business cases

• Birth and marriage certificates, personal and family documents
• Diplomas, transcripts and university certificates
• Criminal record certificates and administrative documents
• Court decisions, powers of attorney, declarations and notarial documents
• Employment contracts, documents for residence and insurance
• Business contracts, registers, technical and financial documents

This list covers commonly requested documents, but is not exhaustive. You can also send another type of document for Persian translation, we pay particular attention to the Persian alphabet, the direction of writing, the Iranian calendar and the difference between Farsi and related variants.

Farsi, Iranian calendar and Latin notation of names

Farsi and Dari share much of the script and vocabulary, but they are not the same label for professional translation purposes. The country of issue and the wording of the document help determine the language. If there is any doubt, we do not confirm the price until an expert examines the sample.

We calculate the dates listed according to the Iranian calendar carefully and, if necessary, specify the original and Gregorian form. For personal names, the Latin notation from the passport is preferred, even when there are several possible transcriptions.

Certified Persian translation – what to check before official submission

A certified translation for official use is prepared by an appointed permanent court interpreter for Persian, subject to availability and the receiving authority’s requirements. Before accepting the assignment, we check the exact language variant, calendar dates and the verification procedure accepted by the body to which the document is submitted. If direct certification is unavailable, we ask the relevant authority to confirm whether an alternative is acceptable. Before you order, we also check the number of copies, whether the translation must be attached to the original or a copy, and any Apostille requirements.

Persian interpretation for meetings and official procedures

We arrange interpreting between Persian and Croatian for business meetings, appointments with a notary or registrar, court and administrative proceedings and other official appointments agreed in advance. If the organiser or relevant authority requires an appointed permanent court interpreter, please tell us when you enquire. We confirm the booking once we have checked the location, date, duration, subject and any documents needed for preparation.

Authentication of a Persian document for international use

Check Apostille requirements separately from translation requirements. Some authorities ask for the original to be legalised before it is translated; others accept a different order. Before placing your order, confirm the receiving authority’s instructions and read our Apostille guide.

What we check before confirming a Persian translation

Your quote clearly sets out the scope, source and target languages, certification, total price, deadline and delivery arrangements. For these documents, we pay particular attention to the Persian script, the direction of writing, the Iranian calendar and the difference between Farsi and related variants.

Persian translation price estimate after document review

For Persian, document translation and interpreting are priced differently. Translation costs depend on the length and complexity of the document, legibility, stamps, certification and deadline. Interpreting costs depend on the duration, location, preparation and any travel required. The delivery date depends on checking the calendar, the language variant and the official names of the institutions. We confirm the possibility of urgent translation after reviewing all pages and checking whether the appropriate translator or permanent court interpreter can accept the assignment.
