Newborn Visa in Azerbaijan

If, as an expat, you choose to give birth in Azerbaijan you will have to apply for a birth certificate and register the birth. It is important for temporary residents and foreigners to contact their respective embassy after the birth of the child in order to process a passport and visa for the child. According to the regulations of most countries even newborns are required to have an individual passport.

Residents should apply to one of the civil registry offices within one month of the birth. There are many civil registry offices in Azerbaijan and are all listed on the Ministry of Justice website.
