WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Iranian Police Record (Govahi-ye Adam-e Su-e Pishineh (گواهی عدم سوء پیشینه))
Iran's police clearance, the Govahi-ye Adam-e Su-e Pishineh, certifies a clean criminal record. It is issued by the national police (FARAJA, formerly NAJA) through the Police +10 (Polis be Alaveh Dah) offices, drawing on the Judiciary's penal-records database, and requires fingerprinting (angosht-negari); applicants in the US enroll prints and route the request through the Iranian Interests Section at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington. The certificate is short-lived: it shows a Jalali issue date and is generally treated as valid only a few months, so timing matters for consular processing and adjustment interviews. Newer electronic versions carry a QR/barcode and tracking number. For USCIS and the National Visa Center it must be recent and fully translated. Our translators convert the Jalali date, flag the validity window so you don't file a stale certificate, render the no-criminal-record attestation precisely, and reproduce the tracking number, barcode, and police seals that confirm authenticity.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Iranian Police Record Comes From
Iranian police and criminal-record certificates are issued by the national or state police and justice authorities described above — not the civil registry. Iran is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so its documents cannot be apostilled; for use abroad they are legalized by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and because Iran has no embassy in the US, by the Iranian Interests Section at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, D.C. For USCIS itself this legalization is not required — USCIS accepts the foreign-language original accompanied by a complete certified English translation.

USCIS REQUIREMENTS
How USCIS Wants Your Iranian Police Record Translated
For your Iranian police record, USCIS requires a complete English translation of everything on the page — the issuing office’s details, seals, and any marginal notes included — plus a signed certification of accuracy under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Machine translation cannot sign that certification. We reproduce the document's exact layout so an officer can compare it line by line against your Iranian original.
WATCH OUT FOR
Common Iranian Police Record Pitfalls
Iranian police and criminal-record certificates must show exact coverage dates and the issuing authority, and because they often expire quickly, the translation should be scheduled close to your filing date.
Native Iranian Specialist
A native speaker of your document's language handles it — not a generalist or a machine.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Iranian police record translation cost?
A standard Iranian police record is typically $15-25 total, certified and formatted, delivered in 24-48 hours. Pricing is $0.05 per word; longer or multi-page documents are quoted exactly before you pay.
Is your Iranian police record translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). If USCIS rejects it citing the translation, we correct it free and reimburse your resubmission fee.
My Shenasnameh and other records show dates in the Persian (Solar Hijri) calendar. How is that handled?
Every Jalali (Solar Hijri) date is converted to its Gregorian equivalent in the translation, so a birth recorded as 1370 reads correctly as 1991/1992 for USCIS. We note the conversion clearly so the officer sees a familiar date without losing the original reference.
