UAE Newborn Visa 2025: Complete Guide for Parents

Sponsoring a Newborn in the UAE: Step-by-Step Guide for Parents

If you recently welcomed a baby born in the UAE, congratulations. Along with the joy of parenthood comes an important responsibility: legally sponsoring your child under your UAE residency. This guide outlines all the essential steps you need to take, starting with attesting the UAE-issued birth certificate and understanding the legal grace period.

Step 1: Attest the UAE Birth Certificate

The first step is to obtain and attest to your baby’s official birth certificate. The process is as follows:

  1. Register the birth at the hospital where your child was delivered. The hospital will issue a birth notification.
  2. Apply for the official birth certificate through:
    • Dubai Health Authority (if born in Dubai)
    • Department of Health (if born in Abu Dhabi)
    • Ministry of Health and Prevention (for other Emirates)
  3. Have the birth certificate attested by:
    • Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP)
    • Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFAIC)
    • Your home country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE

This attested birth certificate is a mandatory document for applying for your baby’s passport and residence visa.

Step 2: Be Aware of the 120-Day Grace Period

The UAE allows a 120-day grace period from the date of birth to complete all necessary residency formalities. During this period, you must:

  • Obtain your child’s passport
  • Apply for a UAE residence visa
  • Secure an Emirates ID

If the process is not completed within the 120-day window, fines will be imposed for each day of delay. It is highly recommended to begin the process early to avoid unnecessary penalties.

Step 3: Apply for Your Baby’s Passport

Contact your country’s embassy or consulate in the UAE to apply for your child’s passport. Each embassy has its requirements, but the common documents include:

  • Attested birth certificate
  • Baby’s passport-sized photos
  • Parents’ passports and Emirates IDs
  • Completed application forms and applicable fees

Since passport issuance timelines vary by embassy, it is advisable to start this step as early as possible.

Step 4: Apply for the UAE Residence Visa and Emirates ID

Once the passport is issued, proceed with the UAE residency application process. This typically involves:

  1. Submitting an entry permit request, if required
  2. Applying for the residence visa through GDRFA (Dubai) or the relevant immigration authority in your Emirate
  3. Registering your child for mandatory health insurance
  4. Applying for the Emirates ID (babies are exempt from biometric capture, but still require the ID)

Documents Required  for Newborn Visa in the UAE

You need to prepare the following documents for newborn visa in the UAE:

  • Attested UAE birth certificate
  • Baby’s original passport
  • Passport-size photo with white background
  • Parents’ passports and Emirates IDs
  • Attested marriage certificate
  • Valid tenancy contract or Ejari
  • Salary certificate or labour contract
  • Health insurance for the baby

In most cases, the father sponsors the child. However, in specific circumstances, the mother may be sponsored if she meets the legal criteria.

What If You Are Self-Sponsored or a Business Owner?

If you are on a freelance visa or a business owner, the process is similar, but you may be required to provide additional documents, such as trade license copies or business contracts. It is crucial to check with the relevant immigration authority or a trusted visa consultant for guidance.

Conclusion: Don’t Delay the Process

Sponsoring your newborn in the UAE is a legal requirement with a strict deadline. Start early by attesting the birth certificate, securing the passport, and completing the residency process well within the 120-day grace period.
