Vehicle registration renewal in Iran
Renewing a vehicle registration in Iran generally involves ensuring the vehicle passes technical inspection, settling any outstanding fines, updating owner information if necessary, and then submitting required documents to the traffic police.
It is advisable to start the renewal process a few weeks before the current registration expires. This allows ample time to complete the technical inspection, address any outstanding fines, and account for potential waiting times at traffic police centers or unexpected processing delays.
Start 21 days ahead
This timeframe allows for scheduling and completing the technical inspection, checking and paying fines, and processing time at the traffic police offices.
The process
- 1Ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and meets all technical inspection requirements.
- 2Obtain a valid technical inspection certificate (برگ معاینه فنی) from an authorized inspection center.
- 3Check and pay any outstanding traffic fines or tolls associated with the vehicle.
- 4Gather all necessary original documents, including the existing vehicle registration card and owner's identification.
- 5Visit a designated Traffic Police (Rahvar NAJA) service center to submit the renewal application and documents.
- 6Pay the applicable renewal fees at the designated bank or payment counter.
- 7Collect the new vehicle registration card upon successful processing.
What to bring
- Original existing vehicle registration card (کارت سبز / سند مالکیت خودرو)
- Original national ID card (کارت ملی) of the vehicle owner
- Technical inspection certificate (برگ معاینه فنی)

The cost for renewing vehicle registration includes a fee for the renewal itself, potential fees for the technical inspection, and any outstanding traffic fines. Specific fee amounts should be confirmed with the Traffic Police or at their service centers.
What commonly goes wrong
- Vehicles must pass the technical inspection before renewal; failing this inspection will delay the process.
- All outstanding traffic fines and tolls must be paid in full prior to renewal.
- Ensure all owner information is current and matches the identification documents.
- Verify the operating hours and required appointment procedures (if any) for the specific Traffic Police service center.
