Helping businesses navigate licensing in Iraq.
Licensing requirements for telecommunications activities in Iraq depend on the nature of the business and the applicable CMC license category. A telecommunications service license and a license relating to equipment trading should not be treated as interchangeable.
Iraq Approval assists companies with reviewing the proposed activity, identifying the relevant application route, organizing documentation, preparing submissions and following up with CMC. Final licensing decisions remain with the authority.

Common licensing questions.
Key distinctions to clarify before starting an application.
Is CMC licensing the same as Type Approval?
No. Type Approval concerns the regulatory approval of applicable equipment models. Licensing concerns particular business activities or communications services. Depending on the project, separate regulatory processes may apply.
Which documents are required for a CMC license?
Requirements depend on the specific license category, applicant and activity. We confirm the applicable requirements after reviewing your inquiry.
How much does licensing cost, and how long does it take?
Fees and processing timelines depend on the license category and CMC review. We provide project-specific information after assessing the request; the standard Type Approval timeline should not be assumed to apply to licenses.
Does Iraq Approval issue the license?
No. The Communications and Media Commission is the licensing authority. Iraq Approval supports documentation, submissions and local regulatory follow-up.
