Many people having trouble to do the ministry procedures for their new born baby.so i hope these guidance will help all expats living in kuwait.
Before start any procedure better collect the following details.
1) father civil id and copy
2)mother civil id and copy
3)marriage certificate (can be prepared the paper attested from the embassy and stamped behind from the ministry of foreign affairs- its 5 KD stamp.) and copies of that.
A copy costs 50 fills outside and u can copy from your offices. so have more than two copy's all that i prefer. because don't be trouble with copies when you are in a Que.
Here i quote the new born from sabah hospital
1) After 2 days of the discharge from the hospital, (it may take up to 10 days). go with fathers civil id to the counter located in the main entrance of the maternity hospital there is one counter on left side, show the civil id , the ladies will give you a pink colored paper.
2) if the address in salmiya area, the next step is to go to the ministry of birth- newborn. it is located in midan hawally, near the traffic department office, behind the police station. more clearly - there is a masjid. just in between the masjid and NBK bank.
be sure you should have a printed paper with your newborn name in English and Arabic.
