  1. Is it necessary to register for alwal al madani with in one month.
    If delayed more than month then what is the penalty?

  2. I am in Canada. My daughter born in Saudi Arabia on 6th July 2011. I need a permanent birth certificate now.
    I am outside Saudi Arabia. Where should I submit my documents to apply?

  3. Hi, I was born in Madina in 1986. I recently lost my birth certificate and would like to know if I can get a replacement. I live in Riyadh now. Can I get a replacement here in Riyadh? If so what documents are required? Where exactly can I go to request a replacement? Thank you for your time

  4. I am an Indian citizen born at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My parents were working in Saudi when I was born. I left the country (Saudi Arabia) before ‘one-year’ mark so I wasn’t issued a birth certificate. I was simply added to my mother’s Indian passport based on the Saudi hospital’s admittance slip (which has subsequently been lost) and did travel to India based on that (I have a copy of my mother’s original passport). Subsequently I received my own Indian passport.

    Currently I am in United States of America and I need to present a non availability certificate (since I didn’t receive the Saudi birth certificate) from Saudi officials for my Green Card process. Could you please help/guide me to get a non-availability of Saudi birth certificate from Saudi officials?

  5. I was born in Saudi Arabia (Onaizah) as my parents were working there and after 9 months from birth I was moved to India permanently. I had got my Indian passport from Indian Consulate, Riyadh for my travel to India. My parents misplaced my Arabic birth certificate and I am in need of the same for US Green Card. I don’t have any friends/relatives in Saudi now. Is there anyway I can get a new/copy of the Arabic Saudi Birth Certificate from Saudi government?

    I have my old passport with me which was issued by Indian Consulate, Riyadh. I have my parents’ old passports as well.

    Note: I am an Indian citizen by registration now resides in United States of America.

    1. You are required to submit all the above documents to get the certificate.

    2. My son was born in Taif ksa. We lost his birth certificate. I need to know is it possible to reissue.

  6. My daughter was born in Jeddah (International Medical center).
    However, we lost the original Arabic certificate (Provisional) of my daughter and currently I am in Canada. We are no more the residents of Saudi Arabia. I need that certificate urgently.
    Please advise the procedure of getting new birth certificate. Please help me by letting me know the detailed procedure.

    1. To register a newborn whose mother is not added to the Family Register or if she is non-Saudi:
      The applicant must:
      ** Submit the original Marriage Certificate and a copy of it.
      ** Submit the original Birth Report by the relevant hospital.
      ** Submit a copy of the Family Register of the father of the wife or one of her brothers’ official documents if her father does not possess documents.
      ** Submit a copy of the passport of the wife and a copy of her Residence Permit (Iqama) if she is non-Saudi.
