The hospital your baby is delivered in will issue a ‘Birth Notification’. Take this paper along with the following documents to Al Baraha Hospital to get Birth Certificate and attestation. 

Documents Required for Birth Certificate:

• Birth Notification issued by the hospital
• Original + copy of parents’ passports with residence permits
• Attested marriage certificate

Time: 2-3 working days

Procedure:
• Some public hospitals such as Dubai Hospital (04-7075805), Rashid Hospital (04-3371111) and Al Wasl Hospital (04-3241111) have a counter which will issue the Arabic birth certificate. Go there and hand over the documents and receive the Arabic birth certificate immediately.

• For an English birth certificate, go to Preventive Medicine Department at Al Baraha Hospital (also known as Kuwaiti Hospital 04-2710000).

• Get an application form from the Birth Certificate Office. A translator will type your application at the hospital. You can get it attested at the Ministry of Health Counter at Al Baraha Hospital itself.

• Take the documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for attestation and Pay Dh155.

Fees:
Arabic birth certificate Dh50
Translation fee Dh15
English birth certificate Dh50
Attestation fee (MoH) Dh20
Attestation fee (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Dh155

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.

You must have a valid health card in order to deliver in a public hospital. Please carry your original marriage certificate & passports with you.
