Iranian Birth certificate in Farsi language.

[Sara & Mark 2]

Question...........

My wife resides in Sweden, she is a Swedish citizen but born in Iran and also an Iranian citizen.

Her visa application (DS-230) is at the NVC, one of the required "Civil Documents" is a Birth Certificate which is in Farsi.

Her interview will be at the American Embassy in Stockholm, therefore her Birth Certificate is not in the language spoken at that Embassy. I was informed that NVC will accept a photocopy of this document sealed together with certified translation of it rather than the original document sealed together with a certified translation of it.

Anybody out there in VJ land had experience with this

Thank you to all of you in advance for yout time and attention to this inquiry.

hi,

I was asked for the extact same thing from USCIS, a civilly issued marrige certificate and a certified translation, this is what I did.

went to the local consulate here in the us, and asked for a marrige certificate and then a translation to english.

The consulate did provide a certificate of marrige with stamps and seals in local language and then they did the translation into english, again with seals and stapms. USCIS approved my case shortly after that.

I hope this helps!
