Registering a birth in Kuwait

Hi,

About to have a baby or already had children? Let's share your experience about the paperworks for registering a birth in Kuwait.

What are the formalities to obtain a birth certificate?

What is the procedure to follow if both parents are of the same nationality or for a mixed couple?

Thank you in advance for participating,

David

How to obtain an Expatriate聮s New Born Child certificate?

The hospital where the child was born will advise a written notification of the birth.  The hospital will provide the address.  It is written in Arabic.  If the parents do not speak and write in the language, the child聮s name will be written phonetically in Arabic.Other documents required for the birth certificate are:
◾Application form
◾Photocopies of parents聮 passport
◾Photocopies of parents聮 civil IDs
◾Authenticated marriage contract
◾Proposed first name of the child

Procedures for the New Born Kuwait Visa, Passport and Residency

To obtain residency for the child, his name must be added to the parent聮s passport.

Another way is to obtain a separate passport for the child, which is a more common option.  If a child has his own passport, he can travel without his parent if necessary.

A requirement for a child聮s passport is a certified translation of the child聮s birth certificate, and other non-Arabic embassies require an authenticated certificate by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait.

When the child聮s name is added to the parent聮s passport, or when he obtains his own passport, a child聮s residence can be obtained.  There are no special procedures for obtaining a new born child聮s residence.  The fee for actual residence application is 10KD per year.

Parents on domestic servant visas are not allowed to keep their child in Kuwait.  He or she must obtain an exit visa for the child.  Parents can apply for an exit visa from the Minsitry of the interior.  There is no fee for the exit visa.

Other Requirements for Kuwait Residence Visa

The employee is required to provide a medical certificate issued by an embassy-accredited clinic.  For some nationalities, a good conduct certificate (sometimes called police clearance).  At Kuwait, another round of  local medical tests are required.    A fingerprint certificate will be issued to completely process the Kuwait residence visa.
