Changing child name in birth certificate

in Arab countries they use only first name & if you ask them at the time of issuing the birth certificate they may add 2nd name, now you may try but looks difficult, why one 1st name is not enough ? as on his / her Iqamma 1st name of baby , 2nd name of his father like, Tabish Mohammed ,,,,,

Thats what I have done, the form which we suppose to attached with all the required documents.
I put the full name there, but they simply ignored it .
I did not get any problem while applying for passport and Iqama, jawazat and consulate have issued without complaining, why the last name is not there.
But I don't know may be it will create problem if I apply for US or europe visa, as they always give preference to the Last name.

My son is 6mths. I got the birth certificate from the hospital with only his first name written. I got the birth certificate from ehwaal madini with the same first name and thought it would be complete in the nicop but then got nicop and passport we're made with only the first name no last name as well. My consulate told me that i need to get the name changed on the birth certificate.
Can someone tell me what is the process to get the name changed in the birth certificate?

Its better to confirm from Ahwal Al Madni.
I think you can add surname,there will be no issue.

There is form in the below link to change the name.

Thanks, really appreciate your response.

I will check with Ahwal Madni and let the people know the procedure.


Thanks

Whats the process then? any updates ?

Pls let me know also if we can add last name on birth certificate

Hi
Please let me know the process as I am also stuck with the same issue

Regards
Aleem

i got the certificate without last name..but the passport office told me that they will make the passport as per the name in the passport application form and not as per B.cert.

Since for iqama both documents are required i.e birth certificate and passport. I hope there will be no problem due to mismatch in names. In b.c single name of child is mentioned (with out surname) where as in  passport baby (single) name is mentioned as given name and in surname father name is mentioned instead of keeping it blank.

there is no problem in making iqama , as long as first name and fathers name is same!
also it depends which country passport you hold..maybe different rules for different countries.
im my case there is no "father" name as last name in passport.

Thanks Ehtisham for reply.

Can you kindly clarify more. In Pakistani passport there are three fields. I am confused about surname field.

1) Given name / first name     : Baby name (as mentioned in b.cert )

2) Surname          : Should it be left blank since it is not mentioned in b.cert  or else we can mention father's first name

2) Father name      :          Name of father as per his passport and also on baby b.cert

i did it last month and it was accepted...as i said Father name is not written  in surname in passports of all countries.

Thanks Ehtisham for reply.

Assuming your baby name is SYED IMRAN AHMED

THAT REMAINS SAME.


btw i was talking about indian passport

Hi!

Firstly go to the hospital where you get birth notification and ask them to change the name as per your requirement in the section name of child(ism al maulood). they will change and also give a letter for ahwal madani requesting change in name.
Then fill the form for ahwal madani to change name on BC its name is (نموذج+طلب+تعديل+وحذف+وإضافة+وتصحيح).

Can you please confirm the procedure , because when i went to hospital they told they need letter from Ahwal madani to give new birth notification.

If you have already done , kindly give me some more details about this plz?

@Ansab Shaikh Have u got the name corrected in the birth certificate? If so, please let me know the procedure.

I am also encountering the same issue, as my son's birth certificate lists five names. It includes his first name, middle name, my name, my middle name, and our family name. The passport issued also reflects the same name. I wish to remove my name from my son's birth certificate and retain his first name, second name, and our family name. Today, I visited the VFS center to rectify my son's name in the passport. Following that, I plan to apply for a duplicate birth certificate from the embassy. I would appreciate any information regarding the procedure how to correct Saudi birth certificate and iqama.

@sbkhan35629586 Brother can you share the halaf name you made from embassy to change name in jawazat. I really need it.
