Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Iraq National ID card photo?
The Iraq National ID card photo must be 35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm). This is the same standard size used for Iraqi passports and follows the common biometric photo format used across most of the Middle East and Europe.
Can I wear glasses in my Iraq ID photo?
No. Glasses are generally not allowed. The only exception is if you have a documented medical reason — you must provide a signed doctor's note, and the glasses must not cause any glare, shadows, or obstruction of your eyes.
What is the Iraq National Card (البطاقة الوطنية الموحدة)?
The Iraq National Card is a biometric identity card issued by the Ministry of Interior since 2016. It replaced the old Nationality Certificate, Civil Identification Document, and Residency Card. It is an ID-1 sized polycarbonate card with an embedded RFID chip containing your biometric data.
Can I wear a headscarf or religious head covering?
Yes, religious head coverings such as a hijab are permitted as long as your full face remains visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead. The covering must not cast shadows on your face.
How does the Iraq ID photo compare to a US passport photo?
The Iraq ID photo is 35×45mm (about 1.4×1.8 inches), while the US passport photo is 2×2 inches (51×51mm). The Iraq photo is taller and narrower. Both require a white background and neutral expression.
