Documents for Use in Persia.

1. PERSIAN legislation has been enacted providing that the
   Persian Courts shall accord to documents drawn up elsewhere
   than in Persia the same degree of recognition as is accorded
   them in the country of issue, provided that, inter alia, a
   Persian Consular representative in the country of issue or,
   alternatively, a Consular representative of that country in
   Persia, shall have certified it as having been drawn up in
   accordance with the legal requirements of the country of
   issue.
2. In all cases where such a document has been certified by
   a foreign Consular representative in Persia as having been
   issued in accordance with the legal requirements of the country
   of issue, the recognition of the document in question in the
   Persian Courts is conditional on the further certification, in
   Tehran, by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and in the pro-
   vinces by the local Governors, of the foreign representative's
   signature.
3. Arrangements have accordingly been made whereby the
   Consular representatives of Great Britain in Persia will
   certify for the purposes of the legislation referred to documents
   drawn up in New Zealand, if they have previously received
   official authentication in New Zealand.
4. To enable these arrangements to be taken advantage of
   it will be necessary that documents shall first be notarially
   verified in the usual way, and then submitted for local authen-
   tication to the Department of Internal Affairs.
5. Documents will then be returned to the parties to be
   forwarded to Persia.
6. Agents in Persia should be instructed to submit the
   documents to His Majesty's Legation at Tehran, which will
   arrange for them to be certified by a British Consular repre-
   sentative in Persia.
7. A fee of 10s. 6d. will be charged for each document
   locally authenticated; the fee must be prepaid when the
   document is submitted to the Department.
8. These arrangements apply to documents executed in
   Western Samoa and the Tokelau (Union) Islands, as well as
   to those executed in New Zealand (including the Cook Islands).
   Dated at Wellington, this 10th day of December, 1930.
