CPD in Iran
Hi Hathan,

I've just been through Pakistan and Iran and I can't imagine how you'd get through overland without a CDP.

It's the first thing they ask for on the overland crossings after saying "Welcome to......". and I was often asked to show it at Police check-points, of which there were quite a few in Southern Iran and Balochistan in Pakistan.

Hope this helps.

Frank.

Hi hathan
I drove througt Iran from Bazaran to Bandar-e-Bushhehr and back Shiraz, Esfahan, Ardabil and border with Armenia. Except of Bazagran nobody ask me about CPD. I was stopped few times in cities by police only for invitations us to their homes and making pictures.
As I wrote before I was in Iran without CPD. It is possible but of course you have wait on border few hours for preparing documents and pay for that.

Save trip

hello
few weeks ago entered iran at bazargan border. big border, lot of people and a few people trying to get your money. were leaving iran at the southern border at essendere/sero. really small and quiet border. it is really easy. people are really helpfull. there are only some running moneychangers but not a real problem. i would really advise going there. only the road we took from the border to the west of turkey was a bit ''scary''. the road along hakkari and the iraqi border is full of military checkpoints and the military people are pretty nervous. small (not that good) but beautifull road. you don't feel really safe there. sirnak is good. has also some hotels and from there it feels safe. hope this is helpfull

I want to tell you something about this countries but a little time later.
Border in Bazagran I passed about 1 in the night. It was no problem with visa and passport ( about 1/2 hour), but I had no CPD. I had to wait till 8 and morning "the fixer" made for me transit documents and after 6 hours I entered Iran. It was some "battle" betwen me and the fixer but finally the man from "turist information" was good english speaking and very helpful.
After all this situation I think but I pay too much money for the documents and it is really no so bigger problem to drive without CPD.
No x-ray machine and no search in car and bags.
Very nice people and country.
@Bartosz: How much did you have to pay for CDP replacement (Temp. Doc) to the fixer?

"

In 2011 after leaving Iran and on the Turkish side, my whole car was inspected (included with XRay machine) at this border .
