Women found breaching the rule face long jail sentences and heavy fines.
More Iranian women have been seen in public without their head scarves since a young woman died in police custody.
The United Nations rights office said it deeply regretted the passage of the so-called Chastity and Hijab Bill, which threatens Iranian women who flout the strict Islamic dress code mandating head coverings and modest clothing with up to 10 years behind bars. In addition to long jail sentences and heavy fines, those found in breach could under the same bill be flogged and face travel restrictions.
The push in Iran to step up penalties comes a year after a wave of protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested for allegedly breaching the rules.
