Applying for a birth certificate for your newborn

Applying for a birth certificate for your newborn

Having a baby is an important part of every person’s life. While the new addition to the family brings immense joy and happiness, there are several things the parents in Qatar need to take care of.

When an expat gets a baby in Qatar, there would be countless questions surging through his mind about the legal procedure of the visa and so on.

However, in order to apply for the Permanent Residency Visa of the baby, one has to get the newborn’s birth certificate. This is how you could do that –

# - To begin with, expats will have to register the birth of their baby in their respective embassy and also at the Women’s Hospital, which is next to Hamad General Hospital on Al Rayyan Road.

#- Once the baby is born, two letters should be obtained from the hospital along with the vaccination card.

#- You will have to bring these letters, a copy of the vaccination card, parents’ passports, copies of the residence permits and the marriage certificate to the Women’s Hospital.

#- Complete the paperwork and pay the required fee. Generally, the birth certificate will be issued on the same day.

#- Also a fee of QR20 will be charged for a birth certificate.
