By Qatar_Engr •
Hello QL,
Please suggest what is the procedure to get birth certificate in Engilish and Arabic?
Where to go , What to do?
How long the process take?
What documents required?
Does the child and mother needs to be there?
I would really apprecite the help?
Regards!!
You don't need picturs for the birth certificate
and it takes about 1 week
it is 20 QAR a copy
My experience from Al Ahli Hospital -- They gave us an English birth certificate a few days after I left the hospital. You have to take that to Hamad Women's Hospital and get your baby's "number." Takes only 2 minutes. Then go across the street to the Health building next to Lulu's and go see those ladies. Take a copy of your and your wife's passports and a few pictures of the baby. Maybe more stuff, I can't quite remember. Go upstairs and have a lady translate the English birth certificate into Arabic and then take back to the ladies downstairs. Come back in about 10 days, I think, to pickup your official birth certificate.
I don't believe child and mother have to be present but they do have to be there at the Embassy for the passport procedures.
