Iraq Experience Certificate Maker

Experience certificates under Iraqi Labour Law No. 37 of 2015

An employee who resigns or is released is normally entitled to a written statement of service. The certificate confirms facts only — period of service, role and conduct — and should avoid any wording that could damage the employee's ability to find new work.

• Employer legal name, address and licence number
• Employee full name as written in the passport or ID
• Job title and department
• Date of joining and last working day
• Summary of duties and, optionally, conduct
• Authorised signatory, designation, date and company stamp

Attestation and onward use in Iraq

Certificates presented to embassies, universities or overseas employers are often attested by the Companies Registrar at the Ministry of Trade route and then the relevant ministry of foreign affairs. Keeping the certificate on letterhead with a clear stamp area makes that process far smoother.

Employment market context

Iraqi contractors, trading houses and service providers in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil increasingly work with international partners who expect English documentation, while government and ministry submissions remain Arabic. Most small businesses still assemble invoices by hand in Word, which is where a bilingual template saves the most time.
