Hello

Has anyone had issues obtaining your child's birth certificate in Dubai? My husband and I have been married 160 days (on the day that my son was born). Due to complications with my pregnancy, he was born a month early. Had he been born on his due date we would have been married 180 days exactly (which is what the UAE law requires). Now we are being told by the hospital that we need to go to the Dubai courts and bring two witnesses. Has anyone been in this situation? I heard there might be a fine. Is the US embassy able to issue a passport with the birth certificate and only the hospital notification? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
