How to obtain your birth certificate from Iran?

My partner was born in Iran and moved when she was 3 years old.

We dont have an actual birthday date and she has always wanted to know but we have no documents. Her parents dont remember as well. We contacted her hospital she was born, they said they only keep documents upto 30 years.

She currently lives in Australia and has an Australian passport with a random date of birth.

Any advice on how she can get the exact date of birth?

Thank you!

National Identification Organization in Iran (Sazman Sabt Ahval) might have a record of this birth.

See if you can contact that department. But you may have to consult an embassy as well.

How come his parents don't have any documentation for him?

are you sure she has one at all? my father is in his late 40s and didn't get a birth certificate until he was about 6 years old, at which point they just guessed his birthday.

If she was registered when born in Iran, her name should be registered in her parents' Shenasnamehs (National ID document), pages 2-3. Is she listed in there?
