Dear questioner,

You must have a resident visa and confirm that you are not married, and then you can request to obtain the birth certificate.

I have a sponsorship visa under my mother, and I have a certificate of no marriage from my country.

Will I be able to get a birth certificate and passport for my baby?

Dear Questioner,

I think you are not aware of the laws of the UAE. It is illegal and criminal to have a consensual physical relationship outside of marriage with anyone. You could be arrested and deported for this act.

So be careful, as you mentioned that you are pregnant and you may face a problem in the event of childbirth without legal marriage.

The authorities will issue a birth certificate if the baby is born here, but you are also likely to be prosecuted.

Please read the specific article of the Penal Code:

Article 356:

Without prejudice to the two previous articles, the crime of indecent assault with consent shall be punished by imprisonment for a period of no less than one year. If the crime is committed against a person, male or female, under fourteen years of age, or if the crime is committed under duress, the penalty shall be temporary imprisonment.

Was this not updated with the new penal codes set out last Feb 2022?

The law does not punish childbirth without marriage.
