No, I don't think so. My friends already gave me a heads up before I applied for my son's birth cert a couple of weeks back. This is only applicable for couples who have different sponsors.

If your wife is under your sponsorship then you will indeed claim your baby's birth cert in Hamad, otherwise, you have to claim it at the CID.

What surprised me was the new CID location! hehehe!!! Oh, and forgot to mention the looooonnngggg waiting inside the Hamad birth registration office.

Thanks for sharing your experience dude!
