Abstract
In this paper we explored teleparallel conformal vector fields in cylindrically symmetric static space-times in the teleparallel theory of gravitation by using the direct integration technique. It turns out that the dimension of teleparallel conformal vector fields are 8, 9, 10 or 11. The case VI in which the space-time becomes conformally flat admits eleven independent teleparallel conformal vector fields.
