Want to Order Iranian ID Card Online? Find the Best Way Here!

Alright, so I recently went through this whole thing of trying to order an Iranian ID card online, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster. I’m an Iranian living in Australia, and with travel plans to Iran on the horizon, I figured I should get my ducks in a row, including sorting out my ID card situation.

First off, I started poking around online, trying to find any info I could on how to get this done without actually being in Iran. Seemed simple enough, right? I mean, it’s 2024, everything’s online these days.

Well, turns out, it’s not that straightforward. I started to look for the right place to do this online. Some sources said there were online services, but then others warned about potential scams. It got confusing pretty quickly.

I even stumbled upon some stories from other folks in similar situations. One person mentioned they had been waiting for three years! They said something about a shortage of materials for making the cards and that you actually need to apply in person.

So, I decided to try to do it online first. I tried to contact some of the Iranian government websites. I tried calling, emailing, and no one responded. A whole week passed and it felt like I hit a dead end. I realized, at this rate, I won’t get anything before I go to Iran.

Finally, I decided to go to the embassy. I found the address online and drove there. I filled out a bunch of forms and provided all the necessary documents. They took my photo and fingerprints, and I paid the required fee.

After submitting everything, they told me that it would take a few months to process. They also confirmed the need for an in-person application. That whole thing about shortages and a three-year wait was mentioned too. I was a bit disheartened, but what could I do? I thanked them and left the office.

The waiting game began. It felt like forever. I kept checking my mail and email for any updates. Then, after a few months, I finally got a notification that my ID card was ready to be picked up. I rushed back to the embassy, super excited. And there it was, my new Iranian ID card! I finally got it after all that.

So, my advice to anyone in a similar boat? Just do it in person if you can. Save yourself the headache. It might seem like a hassle, but it’s probably the only way to get it done.

• Start the process early.
• Be prepared for potential delays.
• Double-check all the requirements.
• Make sure you have all the necessary documents.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re feeling lost.

Yeah, so that’s my saga of getting an Iranian ID card while living abroad. Hope this helps someone out there avoid the same mess I went through!
