Documents for Iran
Iran is not in the Hague Convention. Swedish public documents go via Notarius Publicus, the Swedish MFA and the Iranian Embassy in Lidingö. We add authorized Persian when civil registry, a university or a bank asks for it.

The full chain for Iran in one case when the recipient requires both.
Correct path
Apostille is not enough. The chain is notarisation when needed, MFA, then a stamp at the Iranian Embassy in Sweden.
Official embassy page: Embassy of Iran in Sweden
Overview
The Iranian Embassy in Lidingö stamps after MFA. Apostille is not enough: Iran is not a Hague country. Civil registry in Tehran, a university in Mashhad or Isfahan, or a bank usually wants Persian, not Arabic and not Dari. Dari is Afghanistan. We run notarisation when needed, MFA and the embassy. Standard documents follow the list price; longer texts after a scan.
When needed
The request comes from civil registry, a university, bank, court or employer. Typical cases:
Typical documents by category. Collapse a box if you want less.
The usual chain from review to return. Collapse a step if you want less.
We start from the recipient checklist. That decides language, notarisation and stamp.
Many recipients in Iran want authorized Persian. Even in English-speaking countries the original Swedish text often still needs a certified translation.
Powers of attorney are attested by Notarius Publicus before the stamp. Public extracts can often be stamped directly.
Iran is not in the Hague Convention. Apostille via Notarius Publicus is not enough. The path is MFA and the Iranian Embassy in Lidingö. Embassy legalisation starts from SEK 2,495 in Basic. Embassy fees may be added.
You get the documents by tracked post, ready for the recipient in Iran.

Depends on document count and embassy fees
Iranian registries, schools and banks rarely accept unprocessed Swedish. Authorized Persian from a Kammarkollegiet translator is its own step, even when the embassy chain is already required. Standard documents from SEK 1,495. Longer texts after a scan. Translation plus legalisation from SEK 3,495.
The embassy chain takes longer than apostille. MFA and the Iranian Embassy have their own queues. Add time for Persian translation and any notarisation. The total depends on:
The embassy in Lidingö stamps the chain MFA has already started. It does not replace Notarius Publicus, and apostille does not replace the embassy. Visas are a different product.
