Iraq photo requirements

Iraq photo requirements are set by Ministry of Interior, General Directorate of Passports (مديرية الجوازات); Iraqi Electronic Visa portal (evisa.iq). We publish 2 documents: 1 visa and 1 passport. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in); 1 document accepts a digital upload. Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-09).
