Can I use my last name as Surname for my son

Congratulation for the new baby.

Hope he will be lucky in his life not to have trouble from the beginning.

In my opinion, you should pursue changing the Birth certificate as it is really missing the correct information.
and don't just give up because they are saying they can't change it. This is so weird and not valid.

In all world, any birth certificate should has the full name of the person. Sometimes mistakes happens, crazy hospital !!

And did you ask your consulate about this mistake? Anyhow, a baby can has two certificates one from the residence country and the other from his country represented by its consulate in the residence country.

Try to issue him a new certificate and apply again for the Iqama.

Best luck

I have to agree with the Lion on both parts here.  Congrats on your son and take the time now to get his birth certificate corrected.

I've worked in the legal industry and the U.S. government for more than 30 years and know for a fact that having solid, easily confirmable identification documents, i.e., birth certificates and passport are key to maintaining your personal credentials at any age.  Discrepancies such as those you've described should not be avoided or shortcut.  Take the time now, while your son is an infant, to correct this.  While he is this young if it unlikely anyone will contest your right to correct his birth documents.  It should be as simple as presently both parents passports to the legal documents department at the hospital where your son was born.

I wish you and your family all the best for the future.  Please let us know how this works out for you.

Sincerely,

Rigger
