If this certificate has been approved by the Iranian embassy in the country of birth, there is no need for the above measures.

considerations:

• According to the Civil Law of the Islamic Republic of Iran, foreign spouses of Iranian men are considered citizens of Iran after marriage registration, and an Iranian birth certificate will be issued to them, so it is mandatory for foreign women to complete birth certificate issuance documents.
