نظرة عامة

Iraq requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a plain white background, administered by the Directorate of Nationality and Passports under the Ministry of Interior. Iraq introduced a biometric passport (Series G) aligned with ICAO standards, requiring compliant photos for all new applications and renewals. Photos must show the full face in frontal view with a neutral expression. Head coverings are permitted for religious reasons but must not obscure any part of the face from chin to forehead. The photo must be clear, sharp, and printed on high-quality paper.

Plain white background with even lighting and no shadows
