Plugs and Sockets in Iran

In Iran, they use Type C and F plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.

So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Iran. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

Recommended Travel Adaptor for Iran

Our recommendation comes from both thorough research and practical travel testing, checking every detail from charging speed to build quality.

No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.

Iran is often combined with trips to Armenia and Turkey. It’s a good idea to check those pages too — plug types and voltage may differ.

Do You Need a Voltage Converter?

You don’t need to worry about a converter in Iran; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.

Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
