Why a Passport issued in Chiang Mai needs MFA legalisation + embassy before Iran will accept it
A Passport produced by a Thai authority — whether the Amphoe Mueang office in Chiang Mai, a Thai university, the Royal Thai Police, or a Bangkok commercial registrar — has no automatic extraterritorial effect. The receiving authority in Iran (immigration, university, court, civil registry, bank, or Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran counterpart) needs cryptographic-grade assurance that the Thai signature, seal and paper are genuine. That assurance is provided by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Department of Consular Affairs at Chaeng Watthana through a full legalisation chain authorised under the bilateral consular convention with Iran.
For clients in Chiang Mai Province, NAATI Thailand removes every kilometre and queue: originals are couriered to our Lat Phrao office, drafted by a Sworn Persian Translator into Persian (Farsi) using the format Iran ministries prefer, notarised by a Lawyers Council attorney, then walked through MFA Chaeng Watthana — express track available — and forwarded to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Bangkok for the second legalisation layer. The entire pipeline completes in 18-25 วันทำการ including return courier to Chiang Mai or direct shipment to the receiving authority in Iran.

ผู้ที่ต้องยื่นสำเนาหนังสือเดินทางในต่างประเทศ
Across our 2024–2026 case file we have routed Passport from Chiang Mai for use in Iranacross these scenarios: Marriage RegistrationFamily VisaStudent / Religious Studies. Each scenario carries slightly different formatting expectations (page headers, signature placement, translation footer), which is why working with a translator who is registered for Iran authorities — not a generic agency — matters.
What clients in Chiang Mai must prepare
Fresh original Passport with raised seal (re-issued within the last 6 months for civil-registry items).
Copy of the signatory's national ID or passport (clear scan acceptable).
If the document originates from the Amphoe Mueang office in Chiang Mai, request a new "certified copy with raised seal" — photocopies are rejected.
Power of Attorney if NAATI Thailand is to collect originals from a third party in Chiang Mai.

Common mistakes when sending from Chiang Mai to Iran
แปล English อย่างเดียว — Iran ต้อง Persian
ลืม MOFA Tehran
Skipping the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Bangkok step — the destination authority will reject MFA-only files.
Translating after MFA instead of before — the MFA stamp must cover the translation footer, not the source-language original alone.
Using a freelance translator without an MoJ / Sworn registration — Iran authorities verify against public registries.
