Apostille & Legalization for Iraq
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Iraq: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Iraq is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Iraq embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Iraq — for employment and family matters, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Iraq authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Iraq requires and how we handle it end to end.
