Issued by the Directorate of Civil Status, Passports and Residence
Iraqi passports are issued by the Ministry of Interior's General Directorate of Civil Status, Passports and Residence, in Iraq and through embassies and consulates abroad. An electronic passport with a chip, built to ICAO standards, was launched in March 2023, and earlier passports are still found in many files. The data page follows the international standard, with the name in Latin letters, so it rarely causes trouble; stamps, endorsements and notes on the other pages are what usually need translating.
One detail matters for US forms. The UK government notes that passports issued to Iraqis born outside Iraq showed a town or province in Iraq as the place of birth before 2013, and the actual place of birth after 2013. If your passport and your birth record disagree on the place of birth, that may be why. We translate each document as printed and can point out the difference in a translator's note.
The passport spelling is the reference
Iraqi names are a chain: given name, father's name, grandfather's name, sometimes a family or tribal name. The passport is usually the only document that fixes them in Latin letters. When we translate your certificates, we follow the passport spelling for every name and keep the original order, so that the same person is not spelled three ways in one file (Mohammed, Muhammad, Mohamad) and US officers can match each document to you.
USCIS asks for a complete translation of any foreign-language page you submit, so translate every page in your copy that has foreign text: visas, entry and exit stamps and endorsements. If you also hold the old civil status ID, it gives the same names in Arabic and the translation keeps them consistent. See the general passport translation page, the Iraqi national ID card page and our Arabic page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.

My passport data page is already in English.
That page usually needs no translation. Stamps and notes in Arabic on other pages do.
My passport gives a different place of birth from my birth certificate.
Passports issued before 2013 showed an Iraqi town for people born abroad. We translate each as printed and can note the difference.
My documents spell my name differently.
We follow your passport spelling throughout and keep the name chain in order.
