For this to happen these are the requirements and documents that the parents should be able to present at the Philippine consulate in Dubai for children born in the emirate:

• Report of Birth Form (6 copies)

• Original Birth Certificate authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UAE Ministry of Health (6 copies)
• Passport Photocopies of the parents (6 copies of data page only)
• Personal appearance of Filipino parent(s) and infant/child

If the parents were married in the Philippines, both parents must present an original DFA authenticated NSO Marriage Certificate (red ribbon).

If they are married abroad, they must present an original DFA authenticated Report of Marriage and should report to the Philippine Post.

If the parents were married in Dubai, the parents should present the original Marriage Certificate and Report of Marriage. If the marriage was already reported for over a year already, present the original DFA authenticated NSO Report of Marriage with the original Marriage Certificate and Report of Marriage issued by the Consulate General.
