Iranian Birth Certificate (Shenasnameh) Services – Apply or Update from the U.S.
The Iranian birth certificate, known as Shenasnameh, is a critical legal document used to prove identity, citizenship, and family lineage. Whether you need a new Shenasnameh, an update to your name or information, or a replacement for a lost document — we can help.
Our legal team helps Iranian citizens and their children obtain and manage their birth certificates from abroad, without needing to travel to Iran.
What Is a Shenasnameh?
A Shenasnameh is an official document issued by Iranian civil authorities that records:
Full name
Date and place of birth
Names of parents
Marital status and national ID number
Legal identity in Iran
It is required for applying for a passport, enrolling in schools, opening bank accounts, and accessing legal services.
