FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT iraq LEGALISATION
Yes, documents that have been issued in the UK will require Iraq embassy legalisation if they are being used in Iraq. This is mainly because a foreign country cannot authenticate documents unless it is legalised by the embassy. Therefore, UK documents desired to be used in Iraq will require attestation from the Iraq embassy in London.
Employment, business ventures, residency. These are the main reasons that documents will require legalising if you have UK-issued documents that you desire to use in Iraq.
The first step to legalising a document is ensuring it is either a public document (signed by an official) or a document that is certified by either a solicitor or notary public.
Secondly, the document will require an Apostille stamp from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
The final step is to submit the document to the Iraqi embassy consular department in London for the last authentication.
Document legalisation is the process of authenticating a document so that it can be used for official purposes in another country. This usually involves getting the document stamped or certified by a government body or embassy.

No, Iraq is not party to the Hague Convention. This means that the Apostille alone will not suffice for use in Iraq and UK documents will require attestation from the Iraqi embassy in London.
