Baby born here in Saudi Arabia and name is: Muhammad

Baby's father name: Hafiz Khalid Javed

Name on birth certificate and in absher: Muhammad Hafiz Khalid Javed

Baby's Given name  and surname in passport: Muhmmad Khalid

Baby's father name also Witten on baby's passport: Hafiz Khalid Javed


Now sending all the relevant documents from absher to get the iqama, what you think jawazat will print the iqama or could be rejected on name, because baby;'s surname is only Khalid not Hafiz Khalid?

Please share your experiences:

I am having the same problem for the last 11 years. they added the fathers name in front of the babies name in the saudi birth certificate. and what the jawasad did was the same. most people say its easy to change again. but i didnt try it. but if your HR is good they can do it for you. or there is a form you have to fill up and update the childs name accorging to the passport at the jawasad office.
