Iraq: New Digital Social Security Platform Launched

Iraq’s Directorate of Retirement and Social Security for Workers has launched the "Daman" digital platform designed to provide social security services for individuals including employers, business owners, and private-sector workers covered by the country’s Labor Retirement and Social Security Law. 

Key features include staff registration and de-registration (Iraqi and foreign employees), annual report submissions and monthly contribution payments, clearance requests, business contract registrations, project information updates, and digital services for self-employed and retired individuals, among other services. Previously, these processes were conducted manually. 

Despite this digitalization development, social security registration for newly established entities must still occur in person at a social security office.
