Iraq Context
Iraqi civil documents are issued by the Civil Status Directorate (مديرية الأحوال المدنية). Documents have undergone significant changes since 2003, and certificates from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG) may be bilingual in Arabic and Kurdish (Sorani). Many documents held by Iraqi refugees may be damaged or in poor condition due to conflict and displacement.
Document Format
Iraqi birth certificates include the child's name, parents' details, date and place of birth, and registration details. Post-2003 certificates use a different format and numbering system than earlier documents. Kurdistan Region certificates may include Kurdish text alongside Arabic.
What You'll Need
Common Uses
Iraqi birth certificates for UK use may require authentication from the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Given the complexities of Iraqi documentation, we provide advice on the legalisation process on a case-by-case basis.
