Frequently asked questions
Does Iran accept apostilles from Armenia?
No. Iran is not a party to the Apostille Convention. Armenian documents need consular legalization: first by the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then by the competent mission of Iran.
Into which language should documents for Iran be translated?
Usually into Persian. The office receiving your documents may require that the translation is done or certified in Iran; we confirm this before starting.
How long does it take to prepare documents for Iran?
The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs step is usually quick; the consulate's processing time varies from a few days to several weeks. We give you a realistic estimate with the quote.
