The Iraqi passport (Arabic: جواز السفر العراقي; Kurdish: پاسپۆرت عێراقی) is the travel document issued to citizens of the Republic of Iraq, including the autonomous Kurdistan Region, for the purpose of international travel. The new "A" series of passports began circulating on 1 February 2010, as a result of Iraqi governmental initiatives to create a more secure passport. As of 6 March 2023, a third-generation electronic passport, approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization, has begun circulating in order to make travel more accessible by shortening about 85% of the paperwork and the administrative procedures,[2] and will be issued to citizens within one day of their request. Previous series issued by passport offices in Iraq and diplomatic representatives worldwide include the "S" non-machine-readable series and the "G" series.[3]
