How do you get Birth certificate in Dubai? Birth of a child is a moment of great joy for the parents and the family of the new born. One of the first requirements is to obtain a Passport for the child. But in order to get a passport you need to get a birth certificate to be submitted to the respective consulate. Here is an article on How do you get birth certificate in DUBAI? After the birth of your child, do not rush to get the birth certificate. Wait till your wife and child have been discharged from the hospital and you have had a few days’ time to finalize a name for your child, before you proceed to get the birth certificate. However, do keep in mind that the maximum period to register your child's birth is 30 days in UAE. If the parents are of different nationalities, the child will adopt the nationality of the father. The hospital where your baby was delivered, will issue a ‘notification of birth’ certificate in Arabic. Government hospitals will issue birth certificate as a next step. However, for babies born in private hospitals, parents will need to apply to the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi or the Ministry of Health and Prevention in all other for a birth certificate by presenting the birth notification. A translator will type your application at the hospital. What are the Documents required to get the birth certificate in UAE? Regardless of the emirate where the birth took place, these are the documents you would need to submit: Electronic notification of birth from the hospital at which the child was delivered Original marriage certificate Copies and originals of the parents’ passports Discharge summary from Hospital Copies and originals of Parent's Emirates Ids In the case of a birth inside the UAE while the father is outside the country or a non-resident of the UAE, the following additional documents must be submitted: Declaration from the wife stating the continuity of the marriage. Attested copy of the husband’s passport or a letter from the embassy indicating the nationality of the father or a statement from the husband confirming the paternity of the child, attested by his country's embassy and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
