The process for a USPTO certified assignment

  1. Obtain the certified assignment. Give us the patent or application number and we run the USPTO assignment search and order the certified copy — or send us a certified copy you already hold.
  2. U.S. Department of State authentication.
  3. Iran embassy/consulate legalization — the final step Iran recognizes.

Frequently asked questions

Does Iran require consular legalization?
Yes. Iran is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents require full consular legalization: state and U.S. Department of State authentication, followed by legalization at the Iran embassy or consulate.
Can you obtain the certified copy from the USPTO for me?
Yes. Give us the patent or application number and we run the USPTO assignment search and order the certified copy, then legalize it for Iran. If you already hold a certified copy, send it to us and we will legalize it.
How long does it take to legalize a document for Iran?
A typical single-document order takes about 17 business days once we have your documents, so an order placed today would be ready around October 16, 2026. Timelines exclude shipping and can vary with government processing and consular queues.
How much does it cost to legalize a USPTO certified assignment for Iran?
Our fee for a single USPTO certified assignment for Iran starts at $701.20. That excludes document scanning ($1 per page) and return or forwarding shipping; applicable government and consular fees are included. Use the estimator above to price multiple documents.
Do I need to send you the original documents?
Yes. Apostilles and consular legalization are affixed to original, wet-ink or officially certified documents, so we work with the physical originals. We return the finished, legalized originals to you — or ship them anywhere in the world, including directly to your foreign agent.
