Iran Document Legalization – Expert Handling via the Interests Section

Since there is no formal embassy, legalizing documents for Tehran or other cities in Iran must be done through the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Washington, D.C. (C/O Pakistan Embassy). This process is highly technical and requires strict adherence to specific forms.

Why Use Our Service? The Iranian Interests Section requires a specific "Tracking Code" from the MIKHA system for many documents. We assist you in ensuring your U.S. State and Federal certifications are compatible with their internal requirements, managing the specific fees and paperwork for Birth Certificates, Powers of Attorney, and Corporate records.

Iran Interests Section Document Legalization (Washington D.C.)

Managing property in Tehran, handling inheritance (Probate), or expanding a business venture in Iran? Because there are no formal diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Iran, and since Iran is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, all U.S. documents must undergo a specialized Consular Legalization process through the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Washington, D.C.

At US Apostille, we are experts in the highly specific requirements of the Iranian Interests Section. We provide secure, hand-carry services for your Power of Attorney (Vakalatnameh), commercial invoices, and personal records, ensuring they are registered correctly in the Mikhak System and legalized for immediate use in Iran.

Expert Insights for Iran Legalization (2026)

The Mikhak Tracking Code: For 2026, the Interests Section will not process any Power of Attorney without a valid tracking code from the Mikhak portal. We review your portal submission to ensure the "Vakil" (Attorney) details match your U.S. notarized document perfectly.

Identity Proof: Iranian nationals must provide a copy of their valid Iranian Passport or Shenasnameh. For U.S. citizens, a valid U.S. Passport is required. We verify your identity documentation before submission to prevent rejections.

Proportional Fees: Fees for Iranian legalizations vary significantly. Property-related POAs (Immovable property) have higher fees compared to banking or administrative POAs. We provide a precise fee breakdown to ensure your U.S. Postal Money Order is correct.
