SAEDNEWS: Recently circulated images of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s national ID, passport, and birth certificate have drawn public attention—not just for their content, but for the former Iranian president’s visibly altered appearance in official documentation.
According to Saed News, a fresh wave of public interest has been sparked by the release of identity documents belonging to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s sixth president and a perennial figure in the country’s political landscape. The images, shared across Iranian media outlets, include his national ID card, passport, and birth certificate, showcasing both his personal data and an unmistakable evolution in appearance over the decades.
Born on October 28, 1956, Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s president from 2005 to 2013, and held prior posts as the first governor of Ardabil province and mayor of Tehran. He remains a member of the Expediency Discernment Council and an academic at Iran University of Science and Technology.
The most notable aspect of the released images is the contrast in facial features across various official records—a transformation that has not gone unnoticed by Iranian social media users. Commentators have pointed out the discrepancy between his current, visibly aged look and the photographs in earlier IDs, prompting commentary on his political journey and personal evolution.
Though Ahmadinejad has repeatedly sought a return to the political stage, most recently facing disqualification from candidacy, his name continues to generate both controversy and curiosity. The release of these personal documents has revived conversation around the man who once stood at the helm of Iran’s government—and who, despite being sidelined by the establishment, remains an unmistakable presence in the nation’s political memory.
