Interpol Procedures in Iran – Cosmos Legal Law Firm Guide

1. What is Interpol and How Does it Operate in Iran?

Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) is an international organization aimed at combating cross-border crime and tracking offenders. It has over 195 member countries.

Iran is a member of Interpol, and domestic Interpol matters are handled through the National Central Bureau (NCB), which operates under the Law Enforcement Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NAJA).

The NCB coordinates international judicial assistance, criminal information exchange, and cross-border law enforcement cooperation.
