The Iraq stage, explained

What is Iraq Embassy Attestation?

Iraq Embassy Attestation is the final Iraq-authority stage, completed after UK legalisation. Your document first receives a physical FCDO apostille, then the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in London adds its physical attestation stamp to the same original.

What it confirms

It confirms the document has completed the required legalisation chain. It does not verify the document's contents.

Document requirements

UK documents commonly legalised for use in Iraq

The documents you need depend on your reason for going to Iraq — always confirm the latest requirements with your employer, university or the Iraqi authorities. Personal, educational, commercial and legal documents each follow the same chain: certification, the FCDO apostille, then Iraq Embassy attestation. Some go straight to the apostille; others need solicitor or notary certification first — we confirm the exact route before any work begins.

The steps on the right are local requirements that may apply depending on where your document will be used.

Possible local steps

Handled locally and separate from our UK service.

Ministry / receiving authorityCertain bodies (e.g. labour, education or health authorities) may require their own attestation.
Certified Arabic translationSome Iraqi authorities ask for a certified translation into Arabic — we can arrange this alongside the legalisation.
State or ministry endorsementA Iraqi ministry, state office or institution may add its own endorsement once your document is in the country.

i Not every document requires these steps. Which steps apply depends on where the document will be used.

Kuwait Embassy Attestation FAQs

Iraq Embassy Attestation FAQs

Is an apostille certificate enough for Iraq, or do I still need embassy legalisation?
An apostille alone is not enough. Iraq is not part of the Hague Convention, so after the UK FCDO apostille your documents must still be legalised at the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in London. Without the final embassy stamp they will not be accepted by Iraqi authorities or businesses.
The Iraq Embassy typically asks for a copy of the applicant’s photo ID (passport) and a signed authorisation letter allowing us to submit and collect the documents on your behalf. We provide a simple template and confirm exactly what is needed before we begin.

Yes — most documents must first be certified by a UK solicitor or notary public. Without this initial certification the FCDO and the Iraq Embassy will reject the document. We advise which is required and include solicitor certification unless a notary is specifically needed.

For most commercial documents, yes. A Chamber of Commerce stamp confirms the paperwork relates to a genuine UK business. Only after that stamp does the document go to the FCDO for the apostille and then to the Iraq Embassy for legalisation.
The Iraq consular section in London generally only accepts documents through registered agencies rather than by walk-in. Working with a registered agency like Legalisation4You keeps your documents safe, checks for errors before submission and tracks them from start to finish.
Straightforward documents are typically around 3 to 4 working days end to end, including UK certification, the FCDO apostille and the Iraq Embassy stamp. Commercial paperwork may need extra checks — we confirm timing once we have reviewed your documents.
Personal documents start from £50 Embassy-Only, or £140 for the Complete Legalisation package. Commercial documents start from £225 Embassy-Only, or £320 complete. We confirm the full cost before processing.
