Legalisation Process
Documents to be legalised for use in Iraq need first to be sent to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to be apostilled.
Non-corporate documents relating to individuals must then be submitted to the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq for consular legalisation.
Corporate documents, once apostilled, need to be presented to the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) for attestation before being sent to the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq.
Educational documents may additionally need to be validated by the Iraqi cultural attaché before beginning the legalisation process (please check with the Iraqi authorities directly with regards to validation by the cultural attaché).
Fees
The fee payable is £256.40 (including Arab-British Chamber of Commerce fees).
Processing Times
Legalisation by the Embassy takes 2-3 weeks.
