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.

- Date of birth (baby).
- Area where birth took place (e.g. Dubai).
Procedure
- You may have to wait up to six months from registering the birth with your embassy.
