HELP.. How to get Police Clearance from Iraq in the Philippines

[lavenderjeh 0]

Good Day! 

 

My dad recently had his embassy interview and he was asked to provide a police clearance from Iraq. He worked there for 3 years in 1982. Anybody knows the process or experience applying one? I would truly appreciate any information.

You should always go by the dept of state reciprocity tables for required documents. Looks like he needs to apply through an Iraqi embassy or consuiate.
