FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Government of Dubai website?
No. We are an independent document support service. Official certificates are issued by the Dubai health authority, and attestations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are not affiliated with dubai.ae or any government body, and you can always apply directly yourself.
How long do I have to register a birth?
Births are usually expected to be registered within 30 days of delivery. Registrations after this period may need extra documentation and approvals.
Can I get the certificate in English?
The original is issued in Arabic. An English version can typically be requested for an additional fee, and legal translations are available for other languages.
Do I need the marriage certificate attested?
If the marriage certificate was issued outside the UAE, it generally needs to be attested and translated into Arabic before it is accepted for birth registration.
Are the fees on this site exact?
They are indicative. Before we start, we send you one confirmed price that includes any government fees.
