History

In the past, birth and marriage registration in Iran was traditionally done mostly by referring to clerics, neighborhood elders, or tribal elders. Gradually registration in the current European bye method became popular in Iran. According to the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers on 12 December 1918, the regulations for the establishment of the Civil Registry Office in the Ministry of Interior were prepared and the first Iranian Identity Booklet (Shenasnameh) for a girl named Fatemeh Irani was issued on 25 December (3 Dey (month) SH) of the same year.
