Translating Iraqi Documents for Australian Purposes
Iraqi documents for Australian purposes are issued by the Iraqi Directorate of Nationality, Iraqi Ministry of Interior and provincial civil registry offices. Common documents include birth certificates, family books (daftar al-ahwal), national ID cards (hawiya), civil status ID cards, police clearances, academic transcripts and court documents. Post-2003 Iraq has issued a range of new document formats — our translators are experienced with both pre- and post-2003 Iraqi documents.
Iraq has one of the largest Arabic-speaking migrant communities in Australia, concentrated in Perth's northern suburbs, Sydney's south-west and Melbourne's south-east. Iraqi documents may include Kurdish language content or references to both Arabic and Kurdish place names. Some documents from conflict zones (Mosul, Fallujah, Ramadi) may have gaps or damage — we translate all available content and note any limitations.
