Indian expatriates are urged
not to delay the registration of their new-born babies with the Indian Embassy
in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate General of India in Dubai the Embassy said in a
statement that the immediate registration of the birth is required to get an
Indian passport issued.
If the registration is not
done within one year of birth, there may be delay in issuing the passport as
additional formalities may be needed and financial penalties may be imposed by
the UAE authorities.
For registration of the birth
and obtaining new passport, complete the formalities, including filling up of
requisite forms under passport services
– registration of birth, issue of BC and passport for a child born in UAE)
After one year of the birth of the child, the
case will have to be referred to Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Indian
Citizenship Section, 26, Jaisalmer House, Mansingh Road, New Delhi-110011, in the
prescribed application forms for getting approval. Procedure for getting
approval in such cases from MHA takes considerable time. It is, therefore,
advisable that parents holding Indian passports, register the birth of their
children born in UAE with the Embassy within the prescribed period of one year
without fail.
Persons like spouses married
to Indian citizens etc, intending to acquire Indian citizenship by
registration, who are resident in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, are required to apply
in the prescribed forms to Ministry of
Home Affairs (MHA), Indian Citizenship Section, 26, Jaisalmer House, Mansingh
Road, New Delhi-110011 through the Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi. Prospective
applicants are cautioned that procedure for getting approval in such cases from
MHA takes considerable time. It is, therefore, advisable that such persons
apply well in time with all documents.
