What happens if you cannot get birth certificate for newborn in 30 days in Dubai?

[area51]

Hi,hope i can find answers for my questions here, your help and contribute are greatly appreciated.
Here is the story, i have a new born, she's 12 days old today, my wife(us citizen) does not want to cooperate with me(turkish citizen) to go to hospital so we can get birth certificate for our daughter, she does not give her passport or our marriage certificate, we are both on visit visa and i will have to leave the country on august 11, so my question is if the deadline for getting birth certificate is 30 days and what are the possible consequences of baby not having her birth certificate? I will try to make my wife read this so she might be able to understand what kind of danger and risk she's putting our baby into. Thank you for your answers.

You need to explain to your wife that your baby requires a Birth Certificate in order to get a passport. Without a passport, the baby cannot leave the country, simple as that. The hospital where the baby was born, will issue a Notification of Birth, which needs to be attested by the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There is a company called Medi Express who will do everything for you. Here is the link: MEDI-Express-aboutus
You have 120 days from the birth of your child to get the procedure completed.

My wife gave birth at Irani Hospital in Dubai.

Just out of interest, why on earth would your wife NOT want you to register the birth here?

That would be of great concern to me....

It's cause she does not want me anymore.

Sorry to read this, but could it be hormones talking? Either way, she has to get the baby properly registered if she ever wants to leave the UAE and probably avoid a fine too. Perhaps you could try explaining that it is for the child's benefit?

Good luck

It's actually not her but her mother, unfortunately her mother attacked me physically and cursed my family when i was visiting her so i had to leave that place. The worst part is that my mother in law was not willing to give my belongings including my passport, i warned her and advised her again and again,no avail, so i had to go to police, and she had to give all of my stuff, but now my wife most probably with the influence of her mother as well as hormones hates me now. She said she doesn't care about registration and she knows many people who lives here illegally and nothing happens to them... She doesn't want to leave UAE and as i said since she's us citizen , i believe she's ready to do visa run till the end of her life.As for the baby I really don' t know what to do, i am completely fed up with all those ugly stuff i have had so far.

Something was telling me there was more to the story... So she doesnt want to get the birth certificate so that anyone can not take the baby out of the country, is the jist that I got out of it. Sad state of affairs that two people can not come to a more amicable solution to the issue. As well it appears all trust between the two of you is gone if she is willing not to register the baby. When two people from different background and countries come together, can be even more heart wrenching when things go wrong. Dire situation

I wish you luck!
