Authorized Fingerprinting Representative of the Embassy of India

The Embassy of India in Iran, as the official authority for this country’s consular affairs, is responsible for processing visa applications as well as immigration, educational, and commercial matters for Iranian applicants. Individuals planning to travel to India are required to complete several steps during the visa application process, one of the most important of which is biometric data registration, commonly known as fingerprinting. Fingerprinting for the Indian Embassy is carried out to verify the applicant’s identity and includes the collection of fingerprints and a digital photograph. This process is conducted in accordance with the regulations set by the embassy and through designated centers or authorized representatives. Completing this step correctly and according to the announced schedule plays a key role in finalizing the application and preventing delays in the issuance of an Indian visa.

Introduction to the Embassy of India in Iran

Official diplomatic relations between Iran and India began in 1950, and in the same year, the Embassy of India in Tehran was established as the country’s first official diplomatic mission. Since the beginning of it's activities, this embassy has played an important role in managing diplomatic affairs and providing consular services to Indian citizens and Iranian applicants.

At the Embassy of India in Tehran, in addition to the Ambassador, officials such as the Deputy Ambassador, Advisor, Military Affairs Officer, Air Affairs Officer, Senior Secretary (Consular Officer and Education Officer), Second Secretary (Political Affairs), Second Secretary (Commercial Affairs), and Second Secretary (Information and Cultural Affairs) are present. Currently, Rudra Gaurav Shresth serves as the Ambassador of India to Iran.

Over time and with the increase in the number of applicants for consular services, concentrating all services in Tehran was no longer sufficient. For this reason, the Government of India established regional offices and consulates in other cities across Iran to make access to services such as visa issuance, fingerprinting, and consular support easier for applicants. These offices, especially in areas of commercial, transit, and tourism importance, have played an effective role in improving service quality and speeding up the delivery process, while also helping to strengthen bilateral relations between Iran and India.
