Congratulation for a new baby! Now your wife has done her
part, it’s time for you to play your role. Yes you got it! The documents
journey or a life journey, whatever you want to say.
Get a Birth Certificate: It does not matter how many children you have, what
matters most is, do you have birth certificates of your children.
Hospital will provide you birth announcement letter for a
new born, which contain detail about baby name, father, mother and many more.
After receiving that letter visit, http://eservices.moi.gov.sa
and book your appointment with government body called "Ahwal-ul-madini" google coordinates (+26° 12' 23.76", +50° 12' 21.66") which
deals in birth certificate, divorce and marriage cases.
Fill the arabic form, very easy to fill form. Attach
following
- Your Iqama Copy
- Wife Iqama Copy
- Your Passport Copy
- Wife Passport Copy
- Orginal Birth Anouncement letter from hospital
- Keep Original Vaccination card with you.
Visit Ahwal-ul-madini office at appointment date, present
all document listed above, take your token number and wait for your turn.
After receiving the letter, which will be ready in 30 min,
signed it from MUDEEER (Department Head) and that is all.
Finally you have the birth certificate, get it Stamp by
ministry-of-foreign-affair (MOFA). This step is quite simple, just visit the
ministry. They have separate counter for stamping the documents. They will
stamp the document in no time, charge you for the stamp fee and that is all.
Now you are ready for passport journey.
For passport journey, everyone has to follow his embassy rule
and regulations. Please visit your embassy site for detail information. If you
are Pakistani you can stick with this blog.
For newly born you have to first make a NICOP, which is
mandatory step for passport. No need for Form-B, which is required if baby is
born in Pakistan and one is making passport from Pakistan.
NICOP request can be enroll from pak-embassy in Dammam,
Riyadh or Jeddah. However pak-embassy in Dammam cannot make an urgent request
for NICOP although they do make regular request.
For urgent request you have to
visit pak-embassy in Riyadh. Pak- Embassy claims that they make the urgent
NICOP request in 20 days and (nicop) number is allocated within 15 days
in case of urgent request. Embassy phone number which helps you in knowing
NICOP- number is 4884111 ext 2111, this service is available during 2:30
pm to 4:00pm time only on working days.
Once NICOP number is available to applicant, one can launch
passport request for newly born.
Passport service is only available in Riyadh and Jeddah
embassies. So, if you are not living in Riyadh or Jeddah, it means you have to
travel all the way to Riyadh or Jeddah. I don’t know why all those services are
not available in Dammam.
Up to this point you have baby’s nicop or nicpo number with
you.
I live in Khobar and Allah has blessed us with a baby girl 2 weeks back. I already have got her birth certificate from Ahwal Madina... Problem is I want to travel back to Pakistan next month... but the duration to get the electronic passport is quite long. My question is.. what if I get the manual passport of my baby from Riyadh and travel to Pakistan... and then get the electronic Passport from Pakistan? Will my baby be able to travel back to Saudi again on electronic passport.. considering she will not have Iqama, because what I have heared is.. Iqama is only issued on electronic passport...just know how will that work?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I am also facing same situation i wanna go back for Eid holidays but it seems impossible for me to get the passport and Iqama ready before 04th September 2016.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please guide a best possible way to get the passport urgently.
Hello Asjed,
ReplyDeleteKindly go to Pak. Embassy in khobar and get the Manual Passport for your Baby.
After this you can get the Iqama in 1 day.
Hopefully it will help.
Regards
Manual passport must be ready in one day then iqama may take another day. However, I saw last week embassy was here in khobar. I suggest you visit the embassy place and confirm their availability.

ReplyDeleteThe best thing to do is to visit the Pakistani Embassy or Pak Embassy delegation visiting your region. You can get the dates for their visit from Pak. Embassy website. They can issue you a manual passport in one day. After that you can go to the Jawazat and get the Iqama. This is the quickest way.
Regards.
