Birth Certificate Attestation From Saudi Embassy

Birth Certificate Attestation from Saudi Consulate in Pakistan (2025 Guide)

Birth Certificate Attestation from the Saudi Consulate is a mandatory process for Pakistani residents who want to apply for a child’s family visa (Iqama) or add their child’s details under their Saudi residency (Muqeem or Absher account). The attestation ensures that your child’s birth record is legally recognized in both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

If you are planning to bring your child to Saudi Arabia, follow this complete guide on the Birth Certificate Attestation requirements from the Saudi Consulate.


Why Birth Certificate Attestation Is Important

Attestation confirms that your child’s birth certificate and family documents are genuine and verified by all relevant Pakistani and Saudi authorities. Without this attestation, the Saudi Embassy or Saudi Consulate will not issue a family visa (children visa) or approve your child’s entry under your Iqama.

This process validates your documents through:

  • NADRA (for the original B-Form or computerized birth certificate),

  • MOFA Pakistan (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and

  • The Saudi Consulate or Embassy in Pakistan.


📋 Birth Certificate Attestation Requirements from Saudi Consulate

To get your birth certificate attested for Saudi Arabia, the following documents are required:

  1. Copy of Valid Iqama – of the father or mother who is working in Saudi Arabia.

  2. CNIC Copies – of both father and mother.

  3. Passport Copies – of father, mother, and child.

  4. Original Marriage Registration Certificate – duly attested by the Saudi Consulate.

  5. Original B-Form or Birth Certificate – must be attested by MOFA Pakistan before submission.

  6. Printout of Personal Details – from Absher or Muqeem website showing the parent’s active residency.

  7. Copy of First Entry Visa Page – showing the initial visa stamp to Saudi Arabia.

  8. Original + Copy of Marriage Registration Certificate – both must be attested by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

💡 Tip: Ensure all documents are clear, valid, and consistent in spelling and information across certificates, passports, and Iqamas.

  2. MOFA Attestation (Pakistan) – Get the birth certificate and marriage certificate attested from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan.

  4. Absher / Muqeem Update – Once attested, you can apply for your child’s family visa (Iqama) through your Absher or Muqeem account.
