Applying for a birth certificate: country of origin

This birth certificate can be applied for at the same time as a passport.  You do not need a birth certificate from your country of origin but it is advisable to avoid any confusion in the future. You can use your UAE birth certificate to apply for a passport from your home country but it does help to have a country of origin birth certificate too. 

The process differs depending on nationality, and below are general guidelines, but do consult your embassy for the exact requirements.

Prerequisites

  • You have registered the birth of your baby with your home country embassy.

What to bring

  • A valid postal address and email address 
  • Debit or credit card
  • You will need the following details
  • Name of baby
  • Name of both parents and mother’s maiden name
  • Date of birth (baby)
  • Area where birth took place (e.g. Abu Dhabi)

Procedure

  • You may have to wait up to six months from registering the birth with your embassy.
  • The birth certificate will then be couriered to you.
