Greeting to all my brothers here.....
My name Mazhar Hussain, last week we were blessed with a baby boy. The hospital authorities asked me to fill the application form for 'Birth Notification' we have chosen the name as ' Mustafa Hussain' but the hospital authorities have rejected the last name and said the system in the ministry will accept only a single name(Mustafa) and no second name or a surname is allowed, infact they said it is banned to have two names for a child in saudi arabia.
I argued as to how it is possible for a child not to have his surname/family name, but they were adamant and said "take it or leave it"
I checked with our Consulate, they advised me add the surname(my last name) at the time of making the passport for the child, in the passport the Given name will be 'Mustafa' and surname will be 'Hussain' in this way the Jawazat also will have not objections.
My query to you Brothers is, since I don't have a surname in my passport (my Given name in PP is Mazhar Hussain & no surname) will the Passport department, at the time of issuing the Iqama for my son, raise any objections as to why the father PP does not have a surname while the son has one...
Or shall I take the PP with only a single name....???
Dear brother please advise me.......
Regards,
Mazhar Hussain
