Overview
About This Service
Military service is mandatory for Iranian men, and proof of its completion — or a formal exemption — is required before a passport can be issued or renewed, and for many other civil and legal matters in Iran. ICS reviews your specific situation, determines the correct path (service completion card, exemption, or replacement), and guides you through the documentation and submission process through the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, D.C.
Who Is This Service For?
Iranian men in the U.S. or Canada who need a military service completion card, an exemption card, or a replacement for a lost card — including those who have lived abroad since childhood and never addressed their military service status.
