A complete step-by-step guide to car hooding procedures and reference ceers
In order to know what steps to take, you need to know exactly where to go for a car hood. Car hooding is a two-step process that requires visiting two completely separate ceers and preseing differe documes. Below is a guide for all the steps:

1. First step: go to the police +10 (to settle debts)
The main starting poi for car hooding is to visit one of the +10 police offices so that you can inquire about the existence of any violations, municipal fees, parking, etc. and settle all these debts. Do not forget that the car must not have any debt.
2. Second step: Go to the customs office (obtain a temporary exit permit)
The next step is to go to one of the customs offices in your city of residence or the nearest customs office so that you can apply for the issuance of a temporary exit permit (the same as the cabotage card). This license is usually issued for one year. Note that for this, the car owner or a legal lawyer (with an official power of attorney that clearly meions the right to temporarily leave the coury) must be physically prese at the customs.
The physical presence of the car is also required so that the customs expert can visit your car and match the chassis and engine number with the documes. Also, the car must be weighed in the customs scale to record its net weight.
3. The third step: visiting the tourism and motoring ceer (receiving iernational documes)
After receiving the cabotage sheet from the customs departme, you must visit one of the represeatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran Tourism and Automobile Ceer (TACI) throughout the coury so that you can convert your national documes io iernational documes accepted in other couries. These documes include the following:
- Iernational Driving Permit (IDP): for driving abroad (1-year or 3-year validity);
- Iernational title book (Car Net): Vehicle passport coaining technical and ownership information in iernational languages (valid for 1 year);
- Transit license plate: iernational license plate for foreign travel that must be installed on the car (valid for 1 year);
- Carnet two passages (CDP): Customs pass book that simplifies customs formalities (optional and more for some specific couries).
