Iraq Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Iraq company register data sits with the Commercial Register kept by the Companies Registration Directorate at the Ministry of Trade. Local company records can be requested for a fee, typically returned in three to five business days, but shareholder details for foreign-owned companies are not released publicly. No dedicated UBO register exists; beneficial-ownership obligations run instead through Anti-Money Laundering Law No. 39 of 2015, with reporting captured on the goAML platform used by regulated banks and lawyers rather than published for public search. Foreign shareholders face an added step: Ministry of Interior security clearance before they can hold shares, a jurisdiction-specific access tier the general register does not apply to domestic holders.
