Iraq is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Iraq therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Iraq embassy or consulate legalises it.
Foreign documents for Iraq are certified by the issuing authority or a notary, authenticated by the foreign ministry of the issuing country and legalised by the Iraqi embassy or consulate there. Iraqi authorities work in Arabic, and in the Kurdistan Region also in Kurdish; translations are usually required.
Iraqi documents for use abroad – civil-status documents and degrees for family reunification, study or recognition – are authenticated by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs and legalised by the embassy of the destination country. Some states, Germany among them, do not legalise Iraqi documents and instead verify them through their mission, which can take considerably longer.
Typical cases are powers of attorney and affidavits for property or inheritance in Iraq, and marriage and birth certificates for family matters.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Iraq.
- Documents from the Kurdistan Region may follow a separate regional authentication step – check before starting
- Ask the destination authority whether it legalises or verifies Iraqi documents
- Allow extra time for verification procedures
