WHAT WE TRANSLATE
The Iranian Single Status Certificate (Govahi-ye Tajarrod (گواهی تجرد))
The Govahi-ye Tajarrod is Iran's certificate of single (never-married) status, issued by the National Organization for Civil Registration (Sabt-e Ahval) from the applicant's civil record; the applicant presents their Shenasnameh, and Iranians in the US can request it through the Iranian Interests Section at the Embassy of Pakistan. It formally attests that no marriage is recorded in the registry as of the issue date, written in the Jalali calendar and sealed by Sabt-e Ahval with a reference number. For USCIS this most often supports a K-1 fiance(e) petition (I-129F) or a marriage abroad, proving the party is legally free to marry, distinct from, and stronger than, simply translating a blank marital-status page of the Shenasnameh. Our translators render the tajarrod attestation exactly, convert the Jalali issue date to Gregorian, transliterate the applicant's and parents' names to match the fiance(e) petition and passport, and reproduce the registry reference number and seal so the adjudicator can tie it to your other filings.
WHO ISSUES IT
Where Your Iranian Single Status Certificate Comes From
In Iran, civil-status records come from the Sazman-e Sabt-e Ahval-e Keshvar (National Organization for Civil Registration). 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 Single Status Certificate Translated
For your Iranian single-status certificate, 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 Single Status Certificate Pitfalls
Iranian single-status certificates vary in scope — in some countries they attest only to the issuing registry's own records, while countries with a centralized national register cover the whole country — so the English wording must state your certificate's actual scope precisely, and name romanization must match the passport.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Iranian single status certificate translation cost?
A standard Iranian single-status certificate 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 single status certificate 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 marriage certificate and old birth booklet contain handwritten Persian in an ornate script. Can you still translate them?
Yes. Our native Persian specialists routinely read handwritten nastaliq and shekasteh entries in older Shenasnameh booklets and Aghdnameh contracts. If a stamp or word is genuinely illegible, we mark it '[illegible]' rather than guess, which keeps the translation defensible.
