Map the paperwork
We list each registration your child needs, in which country and in what order. You see the full plan before anything starts.
A new baby in an international family comes with paperwork in two or more countries. The birth needs to be registered where your child was born, then often with each parent’s embassy. Certificates need attesting and translating, and passports follow. We make a plan with you so nothing gets missed while you’re short on sleep.
Later on, we help with school searches and with the bigger question many mixed couples face. How will you raise your children between two faiths or cultures? We can connect you with counsellors who’ve helped other families with that.

Most countries set a deadline, and the UAE has its own rules for births registered there. Missing a deadline can make things harder later. The exact timing depends on where your child was born and on each parent’s nationality, so we check this with you early, ideally before the birth.
Some countries allow dual nationality and others restrict it, sometimes with conditions at a certain age. It depends on both parents’ countries. Your advisor checks the current rules for your nationalities and tells you what’s possible and what you need to file.
In several countries, including the UAE, the parents’ marriage certificate is usually part of the birth registration file. If you married abroad, it may need to be attested first. We check what your situation requires and help you prepare the marriage papers in time.
It’s a chain of official stamps that confirms a document is genuine so another country will accept it. The steps differ between countries and can involve ministries and embassies. We work out the right order for your child’s certificate and coordinate it with you.
Yes. Tell us what matters to you, such as curriculum, languages, religious education or location, and we’ll help you shortlist schools and prepare for admissions. The decision is yours. We just save you some of the searching and help you prepare the documents schools usually ask for.
There’s no single answer. Some families celebrate both traditions, others choose one and respect the other, and some let children decide later. It helps to talk it through calmly before family opinions take over. We can connect you with counsellors who’ve worked with interfaith families on exactly this.
