Certified translation in Cardiff for use in Iran
Papers going to Iran are read in Persian, so an English record needs a Persian version travelling with it. Your own sheet is not altered, marked or held back at any stage. It stays a British record, and the Persian text is a second document that a reader sets beside it.
The first thing people trip over is the name of the language itself. Persian and Farsi are one tongue under two labels, and a certified translation into Persian in Cardiff is the same job whichever word appears on the order. Knowing that saves a fruitless hunt for a service that does not exist separately.
The language Iran requires
Persian is the language, and the whole sheet goes into it: headings, small print, reference numbers and the wording set around a seal. Anything left out is a gap a reader cannot fill, and a gap invites a question that costs far longer to answer than the line would have taken to translate.
Personal names are handled so that a reader can tie them back to the spelling on the source, which matters when the same name will be typed into a form later. British bodies keep their own names, with the plain sense given beside them where the title alone would tell an Iranian reader nothing.
The certification Iran accepts
The form recorded here is a certified translation accepted by consular desks and other offices. Under the Persian text the translator signs a short statement that the meaning matches the English, giving their name and the date. A certified translation for Iran consists of the text plus that block, and there is nothing further to collect.
An official Persian translation in Cardiff is produced from a scan, so nothing of yours goes into an envelope. Where the record is a civil one, Cardiff Register Office at City Hall, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3ND issues fresh certified copies of births, marriages and deaths, and building the file around a spare copy keeps your own sheet safe.
Rate per page and how long it runs
The rate is about £25 a page and counts sides, which makes a long file predictable: count the printed sides and the total follows. Difficulty of wording plays no part in the price, so a technical page is charged at the same rate as a plain one and nothing is added for the signature.
Standard timing is 3–5 business days from the arrival of complete scans, and an incomplete file is the usual reason a clock has not begun. The 48 hours express lane covers a fixed appointment or filing date. Choosing it at the start is straightforward; asking for it halfway through a job is not.
