Hi,
I am sponsoring my wife and she is an Iraqi citizen. in the checklist it asks for birth certificate but Iraq does not provide birth certificates.
According to the specific country requirements. The documents required from Iraqis are first 4 passport pages and Civil status certificate.
The system in Iraq is when you have a newborn, you take the paper from the hospital and give it to the government and they will issue a civil status certificate for your newborn. There are no birth certificate.
The Civil status certificate contains the date of birth, full name, mother's name and place of birth (city/country).
Iraq does not issue any other documents that has these information.
would it be acceptable to use the civil status certificate for both requests?
