As of 6 March 2023, a third-generation electronic passport, approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization, has begun circulating in order to make travel more accessible by shortening about 85% of the paperwork and the administrative procedures,[2] and will be issued to citizens within one day of their request.

[3] The new A-series passports have been issued since 1 October 2009 (German embassy in Jordan, 2009).

Passports in the G-series are thus no longer issued, but they are still valid until their expiry date.

However, in autumn 2014, a document expert at a Western embassy in Amman informed Landinfo (meeting in Amman, November 2014) that the Iraqi authorities were still issuing G-series passports.

On January 18, 2018, Iraqi citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 28 countries and territories, ranking the Iraqi passport 104th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.
