Birth and marriage registration

This section briefly describes the steps for registering births and marriages among refugees from Syria in KRI. The information in this section is by no means exhaustive, but aims to give a brief overview and highlight tools which provide more comprehensive information. This explains the full procedures, however Syrian refugees are not advised to register with the Syrian Embassy

Birth Registration

Any foreigner in KRI must complete two steps in order to register the birth of a child – see diagram below. The main obstacles to completing the process are lack of awareness of the steps that need to be taken and inability to fulfil the requirements for registration.

If the parties to the marriage are below 18 (for the women and man), a special permit is needed from the Sharia court.
