New Birth Certificate Law in the UAE
- Birth certificates in the UAE have been made easier to obtain!
- In short, a marriage certificate is no longer the main requirement to qualify for a birth certificate.
- For example, in cases where both parents are present, a notarized confirmation that the child is theirs, replaces the previous requirement of a marriage certificate, all together.
- In other words, there is no longer a minimum requirement for the marriage duration, as was the case before.
- In those cases, where the father is unknown, a specialized court would issue an order for the issuance of the birth certificate, on the basis of the mother’s undertaking.
- This is by virtue of a new Law No. 10 of 2022, Regulating Registrations of Births and Deaths in the UAE.
- Which cancels the previous Law No. 18 of 2009.
- And comes into effect on October 15, 2022.
