Company Registration in Iran for Foreign Applicants

Overview

Foreign participation requires careful coordination of identity, corporate, representation and translated documents. The appropriate structure depends on whether the applicant is an individual or entity, the intended activity, ownership arrangement, local management and any sector-specific restrictions or approvals.

What we review before filing

• Applicant type: foreign individual or legal entity
• Ownership and management structure
• Passport, corporate and good-standing documents
• Translation, certification and legalisation requirements
• Local address, representative and intended activities

Typical process

1. Initial fact and objective review
2. Document and eligibility check
3. Preparation and filing through the relevant official process
4. Follow-up on notices, corrections and final delivery

Documents commonly requested

Passports and identification records; for corporate shareholders, constitutional documents, registration extracts, good-standing or authority documents where relevant; board resolutions and powers of attorney; official Persian translations or legalisation where required.

Important practical points

Ownership eligibility and approvals vary by activity and current rules. Immigration, work-permit, banking, tax and investment questions may involve separate authorities and are reviewed as distinct workstreams.
