For Iranian nationals residing in Romania, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Bucharest serves as the primary hub for all consular services. Whether you need to renew your passport, register a marriage, or process student files, most administrative workflows are now integrated with the "Mikhak" online system. It is highly recommended to complete your online registration and upload all necessary documents through the Mikhak portal before scheduling an in-person appointment at the consulate, as this drastically reduces processing times and ensures a smoother experience.

🛂Steps to renew or issue a passport via Mikhak

Register on the Mikhak system with your identity and residency details to receive a tracking code.
Upload the required documents (birth certificate, national ID, previous passport, biometric photo) as JPG files under the system's size limit.
If required, book an in-person appointment at the Bucharest embassy using your tracking code.
Attend in person for fingerprinting and a biometric photo (mandatory for e-passports).
Pay the fee — confirm the accepted payment method (card, bank transfer, or cash) directly with the Bucharest embassy, since the fee is set in euros but each mission sets its own RON conversion and collection method.
Collect the passport in person, or by registered mail if the embassy offers that option.

Typical processing time is 1–3 weeks, though busy periods (Nowruz, summer) can extend this to 4–6 weeks.

Reference Mikhak fees (per the Cabinet decree, October 2025)

Lost/damaged passport (1st occurrence)	207 EUR

These are the ministry-wide euro figures; each embassy (Bucharest included) converts them to Romanian lei, so the final charged amount may vary slightly — confirm the exact figure with the Bucharest embassy before paying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book an appointment before visiting the embassy?

Yes, most consular services require a pre-booked appointment, often initiated after submitting your application on the Mikhak system.

Does the embassy provide translation services?

No, the embassy does not translate documents; you must use a Romanian-authorized translator for documents submitted to local authorities.

What if my passport is lost or stolen?

First, report the loss to the Romanian police (Poliția Română) and obtain an official report, then file a new passport application on Mikhak, noting it as a loss/theft case. The fee for a lost passport is typically higher than a standard renewal.

Can documents be submitted without visiting in person?

Initial registration and document upload on Mikhak is online, but fingerprinting and the biometric photo for an e-passport generally require an in-person visit; some non-passport services may allow mail submission — confirm directly with the Bucharest embassy.
