The Action to quiet title (real estate ownership Law suit) has had ups and downs in Iranian Jurisprudence. After the approval of the registration code, the courts considered the official document as the only way to prove the ownership for real estate. This procedure has changed over time; especially after the Islamic Revolution the courts dealt with the Action to quiet title with private document or any other type of evidence and on this basis they accepted the annulment of the official document. In the 1370s, the court's procedures changed to support the official documents of ownership and the registration code. In such a way that dismissal lawsuit was not accepted except by the owner of the official document. Due to the doubts raised by the Guardian Council regarding the legitimacy of the requirement of the registration to prove ownership and transfer of properties, the Jurisprudence was again inclined to accept these types of lawsuits, and annulment of official document based on private document or opponent transactions, increased in the courts.
