How to get Birth Certificate for newborn in Doha ?
I am here in Doha on a work visa with a company, and my husband on a work visa with a different company.
3 weeks ago I gave birth at the Hamad hospital, and we now wanted to collect the birth certificate for our little daughter. - Big was our surprise when the authorities refused to issue the birth certificate, stating that the mother cannot be sponsored by a company, but must be sponsored by her husband.
The only way to get the birth certificate now, would be to deposit the passport of a friend as a guarantee, - up until 1- the wifes sponsorship is transferred on her husband or 2/ wife and baby leave the country.
I cannot believe that this can be true !
Is there anybody out there who can give me some advise ? Are there any women in Doha who are in my case -sponsored by a company , living with her husband, having given birth, and having obtained a birth certificate?
Looking forward to receive your help & advise
I am on the same boat as you in a few months, could you advise if are you able to process your baby's birth certificate? an get his passport?
Hi Muralinh,
I have the same case as you experienced with the birth certificate and double sponsorship, so have you get the baby certificate for your baby now? could you please sharing your experience to solve this case ?or mamybe if there are anyone else having the same experienced, please share it to me. Thank you.
regards,
Once you had deposited a friend's/relative's passport to get your child's birth certificate, then process the child's passport and visa so as to show it to them and give your friend's/relative's passport back. After that you need to process your transfer of sponsorship to your husband as they will only give you a one-year visa for your child. Hence, you'll gonna have difficulty renewing your child's visa yearly. I've had the same experience but not to the extent of depositing a passport 'coz I had my third child before they had done that. My only way out of that was to bring in my wife and children when I took his birth certificate.
