Announcement / Portable National ID Issuance System

The Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in the United Kingdom, London, is pleased to announce to the esteemed members of the Iraqi community residing in the UK, the procedures for using the portable system for issuing the National ID card, in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior. The details are as follows:

– Portable System (VIP): This system may be used upon a personal request made by the citizen or their legal representative to the Ambassador, Consul, or their designated representative. The purpose of the portable system is to visit the applicant’s residence to input personal information, take a photo, and capture biometric data (iris scan and ten fingerprints). A family member or an authorized person must be designated to follow up on the remaining procedures and receive the National ID once printed. The fee for using this portable service is 250,000 Iraqi dinars, in addition to the National ID issuance fee of 6,000 Iraqi dinars.

– Portable System (NPK): This service is for citizens who are hospitalized due to serious health conditions or to those who submit a personal request supported by medical reports indicating that the applicant suffers from an illness that prevents or makes it difficult for them to visit the Embassy or Consulate to register in the civil registry system for the issuance of the National ID. The usage of this portable service is free of charge, but the National ID issuance fee of 6,000 Iraqi dinars still applies. A family member or an authorized person must also be designated to follow up on the remaining procedures and receive the National ID once printed.
