o,
Can anyone tell me how much time is taken by relevant authorities to register a newborn in KSA and is it possible to travel by air with the baby with in and outside the KSA before that procedure completed ?
Just to add, I got the below registration procedure from an other post.
1. Get record of birth from hospital (Arabic)
2. Apply for a temporary Arabic birth certificate at the Min of health (you will need your sponsor for this one)
3. Get it translated into English (check with the consulate on whose they accept)
4. Take it to consulate and apply for a Record of birth abroad, passport, SSN card
5. Once you get the above, apply for Igama and visa
6. One year after birth, take the temporary Arabic birth certificate along with record of vaccinations to the same Min of health and apply for a full Arabic birth certificate.
Thanks

That seems like a lot of steps. We went to Houston for our baby delivery in March this year. From the HR website, you need:
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
Both Parents Passports and Iqamas
What they don't tell you on the website is that you need the baby's Blood Group Certificate. Our pediatrician entered the request to take blood in the computer system but didn't tell us that we have to go to the lab.
After we get this done and I submit everything, I will let you know how long it takes to get the Iqama.
On a side note, we brought our baby in via Dammam airport (without entry visa) and the immigration officer told my wife the baby needs a visa. After she showed the birth certificate and Aramco ID, he let them through. We also travelled to Medina via Saudi Airlines with just the baby's passport without visa or iqama. I would not attempt to go out of kingdom without the Iqama though.

Actualy, you do not need an iqama to travel outside the kingdom. You need a passport with a valid visa in it. Of course, if you want an exit/re-entry visa, you need to have an iqama first. But you don't need to carry the iqama when you leave.
The iqama is for residence inside the kingdom, it has nothing to do with travel outside the kingdom.
We always keep our daughter's iqama here when she leaves and she has never needed it either to leave or enter the kingdom. It also means we can renew her iqama when it expires without her having to make a special trip here, since a dependent's iqama can be renewed without them being here in kingdom.
However, if they've taken the iqama with them then you can't do the renewal without them coming back, which isn't always convenient.

Thanks for the replies.
Which I understand is that after child birth, we have to apply for baby's passport first. After getting that we have to submit Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Both Parents Passports and Iqamas and baby's Blood Group Certificate to get his iqama and multiple entry/exit visa.
Actually we have a plan to go to Madina after one month of his birth and than out of KSA after two months of birth. That's why I am concerned that do we have all documents. So plz I need some more clarifications.
1. How much time is required to get baby's passport (there are also Eid holidays in between) so that we can travel to Madina. And which documents are required for that purpose?
2. How much time is needed to get his iqama and multiple entry/exit visa that is needed to travel abroad?
Thanks a lot.

I just submitted all my documents a few days ago. The Fifa personnel said Iqama should be ready in less than 2 weeks. After Iqama arrives, you have to ask your Timekeeper (department admin) to submit a travel request in SAP, indicating a multiple entry visa is required. Not sure how long that process takes.
Also, I had to submit 3 photos, which is not stated on the HR website, nor did the Fifa personnel tell me the first time I was there. Luckily I had taken photos of the baby just in case.

Hi Texas786
Do you get any feedback regarding baby's iqama.

Iqama took 2 weeks. Multiple entry visa took 1 week. One thing to note is that the multiple entry visa expires when the parent's Iqama expires (in our case this is 3 months from now).
