Alright, so you wanna get yourself an Iranian driving license, huh? Well, listen up, ’cause I’m gonna tell you how it is, no fancy talk, just straight to the point. It ain’t rocket science, but you gotta pay attention, ya hear?
First things first, you gotta figure out what kinda license you need. They got different ones over there, see? Like, for motorcycles, they got one. Then they got somethin’ they call “second grade” and “first grade.” Don’t ask me what the difference is, I ain’t no expert. You gotta figure that out yourself, or ask someone who knows. Maybe down at the motor vehicle place, they can tell ya.
Now, if you’re startin’ from scratch, never had a license before, it’s a bit more work. You gotta go get yourself checked out by a doctor, get a medical report. Can’t be drivin’ around if you’re fallin’ apart, now can ya? Then, you gotta take a test, a written one. They call it a “theory test” but it’s just a bunch of questions about drivin’ rules. Study up, I guess. Don’t wanna fail and look like a fool, right?

And listen here, this is important. After you pass that written test, you ain’t done yet. Oh no, you gotta show ’em you can actually drive a car. That’s the “practical road test.” Some fella’s gonna sit next to you and watch you drive. Don’t get nervous, just drive like you know what you’re doin’. And for goodness sake, don’t hit nothin’! They don’t like that, not one bit.
- Get medical report.
- Pass theory test.
- Pass road test.
Okay, so you got all that? Good. Now, what if you already got a license from somewhere else? Well, that might make things a bit easier, or maybe not. I hear tell that if you’re from some places, like the USA, they might let you drive there for a bit with your own license, but you gotta have some kinda special paper with it, an “IDP” they call it. It’s supposed to translate your license into English, or somethin’ like that. But don’t take my word for it, you gotta check. Things change, you know? One day it’s this way, the next day it’s somethin’ else.
And if you just wanna get a new Iranian license, and you already had one before, well, that’s probably easier. You just show ‘em your old one, I reckon. But you gotta have the real thing, not some fakey piece of paper. They ain’t stupid, you know. They’ll see right through ya if you try to pull a fast one. Honesty is the best policy, that’s what my mama always said, bless her heart.
Now, where do you go to do all this? Well, I ain’t exactly sure. You gotta find the Traffic Police testin’ office, or somethin’ like that. Ask around, somebody will know. Maybe down at the town hall, or the police station. They can point you in the right direction.
So, that’s pretty much it. It ain’t so hard, right? Just gotta follow the rules and do what they tell ya. And remember, drivin’ a car is a big responsibility. You gotta be careful out there, pay attention to the road, and don’t go speedin’ around like a maniac. Nobody wants to get hurt, and you don’t wanna hurt nobody else neither.
One last thing. I heard some folks talkin’ ‘bout gettin’ licenses online or somethin’. I dunno about that. Sounds fishy to me. Seems to me like you gotta go there in person and do it the right way. But hey, it’s your life, you do what you think is best. Just don’t come cryin’ to me if you get into trouble.
Alright, I’m done talkin’. Go get that license and drive safe, ya hear?
