Afghan tazkira: which one to request
The Afghan choice: the e-TAZKIRA (or the current certification of the old one) as the document that travels, the lineage explained in the note, the format confirmed with the destination BEFOREHAND. The menu of the humanitarian diaspora corridor.
The formats
- The e-tazkira — the modern digitalised one.
- The certified paper tazkira — the earlier generations.
- The birth certificate — the recent format, when the destination asks for it.
The typical package
Document plus local translation plus the full route plus the sworn translation from English with the notes (the lineage, the solar date, the context). The digital dossier always.
Frequently asked questions

I was born 'in 1375' — what year is that?+
≈1996-97 in the Afghan solar calendar — the conversion noted on everything. The pairing with Iran.
