Registration process of passport and CNIC of new Born in Korea [Buzz Korea]

It is indeed a matter of great happiness to get a baby abroad. Soon after getting back home from hospital there are certain things to do more importantly and they are, getting your baby registered with the Korean immigration office and Pakistan embassy. Sincere thanks to my friends Kifayat ullah Khan and Haroon Mushtaq for helping me through this process. This blog is written to help out all those brothers and sisters who have to come across this situation. The required documentation for this purpose is;

1-      Baby birth certificates from Hospital (both in Korean/English)

2-      Passport of baby’s Father and mother.

3-      Alien Cards (baby’s Father and mother)

4-      CNIC (baby’s Father and mother)

5-      Nikah Nama (Marriage certificate)

6-      Baby pics (08) in number and in white background.

7-      Guarantor NIC

8-      03 photo copies of each of the above and their original.

Notarization of the Birth certificate from MOFAT (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade)

This is the first thing to be done. The directions are:

Gwanghwamum Station Exit-2

MOFAT is behind the US embassy. There are two roads in parallel; you need to take the next one after leaving the first road behind the US embassy. MOFAT is a tall building, the snap is given here.

Go to 5^th floor and on right hand of the elevator there is the notarize section. Give the baby birth certificates with 25000 Won. You need to fill an application and it will take 10 minutes at maximum. After that go to 4^th Floor, take a stamp of 500 won and they will make seal your documents. Your Job is done here.

Pakistan Embassy:

In the second phase you need to rush to Pakistan embassy after getting done at MOFAT. At embassy you have to apply for Passport and NIC of your baby.

Directions:

Take subway line-6 Itewon station Exit-4

Take taxi to Pakistan Embassy it will take 3000won.

The map of Pakistan embassy is attached with their website link and is given here too. It is recommended to download the following application forms for CNIC, Pakistan nationality and passport. Print and fill it before you go to the embassy. It will save your time. Embassy will charge you at the spot 60,000 won for Passport + 29,000 won for NIC. So it is better to have this amount in cash (Remember there is no ATM at embassy and nearby it). Pakistan Embassy receives documents from 9 AM to 12 PM. The passport would be sent to your address or can be received manually after a week in dispatching hours (4 to 5 PM).

(Please download the follow documents, you may need it in Embassy. Photocopies of these documents also work.)

In the third phase you need to apply for the Alien card after getting the passport.

Alien Card:

For the formation of Alien card you need to visit the nearby immigration office with the following documents.

1.       a pic of baby in white background
2.       Baby passport
3.       Father and mother passports
4.       Father and mother Alien cards
5.       Marriage certificate
6.       Photocopies of all these documents.
7.     Birth certificate
8.      Form B (you will get it from Pak Embassy )       
9.      110,000 Won

Fill out the form and submit to the immigration center. The alien certificate may be issued after two weeks.

This document is written based on my experience while doing all this process. Any change in location of offices /required documents and fee should be re-considered before starting your process.  Feel free to contact if you have any questions at fakharscholar@yahoo.com
