[Start Your Enquiry](https://certifiedtruecopydubai.ae/contact-us/) [WhatsApp us](https://wa.me/971524841790) A certified true copy of a newborn’s birth certificate is a copy that a licensed UAE legal professional has checked against the original, UAE-issued certificate and certified as a true and accurate reproduction. This is separate from the original registration of the birth itself. The certified copy is prepared after the original certificate has already been issued by the relevant UAE health or civil registry authority, so it can be used for follow-on paperwork without repeatedly presenting the original. ## Certified Copies for a New Baby’s Paperwork New parents in Dubai often need a certified true copy of newborn birth certificate Dubai authorities and other agencies will accept, soon after the baby’s UAE birth certificate is issued. This page walks through what that involves. ## Who Needs This - Parents registering their newborn on a residence visa - Parents applying for the baby’s first passport at their embassy or consulate - Parents adding a newborn to a health insurance policy - Parents opening a bank account or savings plan in the child’s name - Parents submitting the birth certificate to an employer’s HR department for family benefits ## Who Can Attend Either parent named on the birth certificate can normally bring the original and request the certified copy. Where only one parent is available, the other parent’s consent or presence may be asked for depending on the certifying professional’s requirements, particularly if the certificate or the intended use of the copy raises any question about parental authority. A representative can sometimes attend on the parents’ behalf with the original certificate and appropriate identification. Confirm with us in advance if someone other than a parent will be attending. ## How It Works 1. Contact us once the original birth certificate has been issued and let us know how many certified copies you need. 2. We handle an appointment with a licensed UAE legal professional to examine the original. 3. The professional compares the copy against the original and certifies it as a true copy. 4. You collect the certified copy or copies. 5. You submit the certified copy to the visa, passport, insurance, or banking authority as needed. ## Mistakes to Avoid - Requesting only one certified copy when visa, passport, and insurance processes each need their own - Delaying the certified copy until a deadline is already close - Assuming the birth certificate does not need certifying because it is newly issued - Not checking whether an embassy also wants the certified copy legalized or translated - Overlooking that some authorities want the certified copy alongside a certified marriage certificate copy ## Typical Situations New parents in Dubai are registering their baby on the father’s residence visa and the immigration file asks for a certified true copy of the UAE issued birth certificate. A family is applying for their newborn’s first passport at their home country’s consulate, and the consulate’s checklist includes a certified copy of the local birth certificate. Parents are adding their newborn to a family health insurance policy and the insurer requests a certified copy of the birth certificate to process the addition. ## How This Differs From a General Birth Certificate Copy This page is specific to newly issued, UAE-born birth certificates and the paperwork that typically follows a birth, such as visa registration, passport applications, and insurance. Our main Certified True Copy of Marriage & Birth Certificates page covers certified copies for other purposes. If either parent’s own documents, such as a foreign marriage certificate, also need certifying as part of the same process, and those documents were issued outside the UAE, they may need their own attestation chain first. See our Certified True Copy of a Foreign-Issued Marriage or Birth Certificate page for that process. Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.

Contact us as soon as you have the original in hand. This depends on how many separate processes you are handling, such as visa registration, passport application, and insurance. Many families request more than one copy to avoid repeat appointments. Let us know your situation and we can advise. Not always, though it can depend on the receiving authority and the family’s situation. If only one parent is available, tell us in advance so we can confirm what the certifying professional will need. Some embassies and consulates ask for a translation in addition to the certified copy. Check directly with the receiving embassy, since requirements vary by country. No. Birth registration and the issuing of the original certificate happen through the relevant UAE authority beforehand. This service covers certifying a copy of that already-issued certificate. ## Get Your Newborn’s Birth Certificate Certified Keep your visa, passport, and insurance paperwork moving without delay.
