I live in Saudi Arabia (ksa), ladies are not allowed to drive in KSA. I have driving licese of UAE and valid upto 2009. On UAE Driving Licese date of birth is not mentioned. Shall i submit it or not.

I have Original Birth Certficate with me, but my name is mis-spelled on it.
Doet is matter. (Original Name Ambreen) On birth certificate Ambrien

About Notarized Passport Copy, we dont have notary facilities in Saudi ARabia for expatriates. I can go to Pakistan Embassy to attest my Passport Copy. Would it be enough.

Hiya,

1. UAE Drivers Licence: No point submitting a document for Age Proof that does not help calculate your age in any way... I don't believe the DL is of any use.

2. If you name is misspelt on your Birth Certificate, consider "correcting" (not sure if its possible!) it and then applying.

3. I recommend having passport attested. It is the most undisputable piece of evidence you can provide.

Since you need to provide two pieces of evidence, I would suggest getting your Birth Certificate corrected and having your passport notarised by your embassy.

I wouldn't jeopardize my case submitting proof that in inconclusive.

Just curious... how come your passport has the correct spelling when in your BC it is spelt wrong?

Cheers.

Hi,
Thanks for reply, I did the attestation of my passport today.
I have Pakistani Passport, from Pakistan Embassy Dubai, they make the passport from the filled application form or 'B' form, which was filled by my father and he wrote the correct spelling, (This happened when i was only 5 years old. since that time its the same.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion and i also believe that attested passport copy could be the best option.
cheers

In spite of spelling mistake birth certificate as such is the best documentary evidence of age for points.
