Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, hiring armed bodyguards in Iraq is legal, provided it is done through a licensed private security company registered with the Iraqi Ministry of Interior. All weapons, vehicles, and personnel must be approved and licensed under Iraqi regulations. Our company operates fully within this legal framework, ensuring all armed movements, convoy escorts, and residential security details comply with local laws. We handle permits, escort authorizations, and MOI liaison, so clients do not need to navigate Iraq’s complex security bureaucracy on their own.
Yes, we offer female protection officers in Iraq for clients who require privacy, cultural sensitivity, or gender-specific security arrangements. Female close protection officers are particularly valuable for families, female executives, NGO personnel, or diplomatic visitors operating in conservative environments. They are professionally trained in close protection, defensive tactics, medical response, and cultural engagement, and can work either independently or as part of a mixed security team.
The Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) — including Erbil and Sulaymaniyah — is generally more stable and secure than Baghdad or southern Iraq. However, close protection or journey management is still strongly recommended for VIPs, diplomatic staff, business executives, and foreign media crews. Risks such as criminal activity, civil unrest, and targeted surveillance still exist, and professional security teams provide deterrence, rapid response, and situational awareness that individuals alone may not have. For many clients, unarmed bodyguards or protective surveillance in Erbil offer a low-profile but effective security solution.
