So, I decided to get an Iranian ID card online. Sounds simple enough, right? But let me tell you, it was quite a journey.
First off, I learned that you gotta be at least 15 years old to get one of these. I started digging around and found out that Iranians living outside of Iran need one too. This thing is called an NID, or National ID Card, and it’s a must-have, apparently.
I stumbled upon some digital stuff. I learned that there is an app called MyIrancell. You can use it to top up your card or buy data packages. I found some USSD codes too. If you dial 55512#, you can top up your card. It’s all pretty handy if you’re in Iran or need to deal with Iranian stuff.

I found some more information, whether you are a tourist or a resident, there are ways to get by. For instance, with prepaid debit cards and SIM cards, you can get local currency and mobile services. These things offer pretty good rates for calls, data, and cash withdrawals. They’re supposed to be convenient and secure, which is a big plus.
Then I hit a snag. There is also something about a 14-year track record in international financial markets. It also talks about secure and diverse digital currency services. I am not sure what to do with that information.
So there you have it. That’s my adventure trying to get an Iranian ID card online. It’s been a wild ride, full of ups and downs, but I figured it out in the end. If you ever need to get one, just remember what I went through and maybe it’ll be a bit easier for you.
