Iran Vehicle Entry Permit 2026: Driving to Iran Without Carnet de Passage
Are you planning an overland trip to Iran but struggling to get a Carnet de Passage (CPD)? You are not alone. Due to recent changes in international regulations, many automobile clubs no longer issue CPDs for Iran.Iran Vehicle Entry Permit can help
However, at Iran Tourism Center, we have a legal and proven solution. Through our exclusive partnership with Iran Customs, we provide the official Iran Vehicle Entry Permit—a temporary import document that allows you to drive your car, van, or motorcycle across the Iranian border legally and safely.

What is the Iran Temporary Vehicle Import Permit?
The Iran Temporary Import Permit is a legal alternative to the Carnet de Passage. It allows foreign travelers to enter Iran with their private vehicles for a specific period (up to 60 days) without the need for a traditional CPD from their home country.
Why Choose This Permit Over a Standard CPD?
- No High Deposits: Unlike the CPD, which requires a bank guarantee or cash deposit (often 300% of your vehicle’s value), this permit only requires a one-time service fee.
- Faster Approval: We handle the bureaucracy directly with the Iranian Customs Administration.
- Legal & Safe: It is a 100% official document recognized at all major land borders.
