Birth Registration including National ID
Register a birth and request the national ID that follows from that registration.
Processing time: Several weeks
Vanuatu
Overview
This service registers a birth in Vanuatu and then requests the national ID that the registration makes possible. It is for a birth that is not yet on the local register, including a birth that happened elsewhere and now needs to be recorded.
We file the registration first, then the ID request, and tell you if a visit is required for the ID photo.
What's included
- A check of the birth record and the parents’ papers
- Birth registration with the civil authority
- The national ID request that follows the registration
- Follow-up until both are complete
Documents
What to send
Birth certificate
The hospital record or foreign birth certificate to be registered.
Passport
Passport scans for the parents.
Passport-style photo
A photo of the child, if the ID is not taken in person.
Process
- Send the birth record and the parents’ passport scans.
- We confirm whether a visit is needed for the ID and send the quote.
- The birth is registered.
- The national ID is requested, and we tell you when it is ready.
Fees
Price on request
You receive a quote before any filing starts. It separates the CitizenX fee from government charges, courier costs, and legalization. Those extras are added only when they apply, and only after you approve them.
Government and third-party charges are confirmed in the quote when they apply.
Questions
Often yes. Send the foreign certificate and we will confirm what Vanuatu needs before it will register the birth.
The registration is often remote. The national ID may need a visit for a photo. We confirm that before you travel.
You approve the quote before the registration is filed.
