How To Get A Driver's License?
Regarding the process of issuing driver's license to foreign nationals residing in Iran, holders of valid foreign licenses can drive for up to six months after entering Iran. However, if international students wish to continue driving in Iran, they must change their foreign license to an Iranian one. To drive in Iran, you need an international driving license. Iran is a member of the agreement. You can get one from the National Automobile Association in your home country. Otherwise, there are two possibilities:
