Get Birth Certificates in Sudan – Khartoum and Omdurman

In Sudan, birth registration is administered by the Civil Registry Administration under the Ministry of Interior. All births must be registered to obtain an official birth certificate (Shahada Milaad), which is essential for obtaining a National Number, passport, and school enrollment. Registration should be completed as early as possible after birth.

Required Documents

1. Hospital birth notification or declaration from a midwife or local official.
2. National ID cards or passports of both parents.
3. Marriage certificate of the parents.
4. Two adult witnesses with valid identification.

How to Get a Birth Certificate in Sudan

Standard Registration Process

1. Obtain the birth notification from the hospital or health facility.
2. Visit the nearest Civil Registry Office in your locality.
3. Submit documents and complete the birth registration form.
4. The civil registrar records the birth and issues the Shahada Milaad (birth certificate).
5. A nominal fee may apply — confirm the current rate at your local office.

In Khartoum

The Khartoum State Civil Registry Directorate manages all registrations in the capital. Offices are located across Khartoum’s localities including Khartoum, Bahri (Khartoum North), and Omdurman. The main office is situated near the Ministry of Interior complex.

In Omdurman

Omdurman — Sudan’s largest city — has its own civil registry offices across multiple localities. Residents should visit the Omdurman Civil Registry Office for birth registrations and certificate requests.

Tips

1. Register as soon as possible — delayed registration creates complications for National Number assignment and future identity documents.
2. Bring two witnesses — this is a firm requirement that is frequently overlooked by first-time registrants.
3. Keep certified copies secure — due to ongoing administrative challenges in Sudan, keeping multiple secure copies is strongly advised.
4. For Sudanese abroad, contact the nearest Sudanese embassy to register the birth and obtain a consular birth certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Shahada Milaad?

It is the Arabic term for Sudan’s official birth certificate — literally “birth testimony.” It is the primary civil document confirming a person’s birth details.

Is birth registration free in Sudan?

Registration fees are minimal and set by the state civil registry authority. Confirm current fees with your local Civil Registry Office.

Can I get a Sudanese birth certificate from abroad?

Yes. Sudanese embassies and consulates worldwide can assist with birth registrations and certified copy requests, though processing is conducted in Khartoum.

What if I have no hospital birth notification?

A declaration from a recognized local official, midwife, or religious authority — supported by two witnesses — can substitute for a hospital notification at the registrar’s discretion.
