Residence Permit Application for New Babies in Saudi Arabia

If you are a Filipino or an expatriate in Saudi Arabia and you just had your new baby, then congratulations to you! Anyways, you might be wondering how your baby can have their iqama (residential permit). Here are things you might want to prepare before going to Jawazat:

1. Your baby's new passport and photocopy.
2. 2 pcs picture (Iqama size).
3. Original and photocopy of Birth Certificate - Saudi issue (You can get it at Saudi Civil Service I think). If you don't have an idea what it looks like, just check the picture below.
4. Original Marriage Contract and photocopy (with arabic translation)

7. Jawazat form - get it from the front desk
