Farsi & Persian Translation Services UK
Farsi is a common name for Iranian Persian. We translate complete documents in both directions and supply an agreed certificate of translation for UK use. Documents intended for courts, registries or notaries abroad may need a different local authorisation or legalisation route.
Farsi to English
For Persian-language documents being submitted in the UK or another English-language setting.
English to Farsi
For English-language documents being prepared for use with a Persian-speaking organisation or authority.
Certified document translation
Certification can be supplied where the receiving organisation asks for a formally certified translation.
What about Dari?
Dari is a variety of Persian commonly used in Afghanistan. Terminology, spelling and local documentation can differ from Iranian Farsi. Please select Dari for Afghan-language documents where that is the appropriate source variety; script alone does not establish which variety is used.

Farsi Names, Dates, Numerals & Document Structure
Persian is written right to left and Iranian documents often use the Solar Hijri (Persian) calendar. Names can have several possible English transliterations. Preserve the original dates and numbers, and check established passport spelling rather than silently changing identity details.
Names & transliteration
Provide the existing Latin-letter spelling from a passport, visa, residence permit or earlier UK record. Where the source spelling and application spelling differ, flag the discrepancy rather than inventing a new identity.
Persian numerals
Persian digits (۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹), personal identifiers, monetary values and document reference numbers are checked against the source. Numeric values must not be guessed, recalculated or silently altered.
Dates & calendars
The original Solar Hijri date should be preserved. If the receiving authority needs a Gregorian equivalent, it should be calculated accurately, labelled separately and checked. Solar Hijri and lunar Hijri are different calendars and must not be confused.
Right-to-left structure
The English layout preserves tables, field relationships and section order so dates, names, figures and stamps remain traceable to their positions in the right-to-left original.
Stamps, Seals & Handwritten Notes
Legible stamps, seals, annotations and handwritten amendments should be translated or identified. Missing reverse pages and unreadable sections should be queried or marked, never silently omitted or guessed.
Official stamps & seals
Legible wording within stamps or seals is translated or clearly identified in the agreed format.
Handwritten entries
Readable handwritten notes and amendments are reviewed rather than automatically ignored.
Complete document pack
Send reverse pages, attachments and certification pages so nothing relevant is missed.
Certified Farsi Translation for Legal, Academic & Official Use
The receiving authority determines acceptable certification.

Read Home Office visitor guidance. Other immigration routes may have different requirements.
