I am a Pakistani national, who was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in March 1996. I was in the country and had my birth certificate on me, but in 2018 I moved out permanently, and I have moved a lot in my life, and in the process, my birth certificate got lost. Neither my siblings, nor my parents currently live in Saudi Arabia.

I ask my relative (who lives in Riyadh) to take my birth registration number, a power of attorney that I provided, and all other additional documents, and got to the Birth Certificate Office to obtain my number. They took my application and made him pay the fees, which he happily did, and asked him to come get my birth certificate in 10 days.

When he went back, they said that "my birth registration number is wrong". They asked him to either

1) Bring the correct birth registration number, or

2) A photocopy of my lost birth certificate.

Both of these don't make sence, since

1) The birth registration number was manually written on my passports when I was born, by the saudi jawazaat. How am I supposed to come up with a correct number on my own when I didnt even know at the time that this was wrong.

2) If I had a photocopy of my birth certificate, wouldn't I have given it in the first place, instead of giving all those other relevant documents.

They say there is NO OTHER WAY, and I am so stressed out, because I need my birth certificate urgently for my immigration purposes.

I am stuck all because of this.

PLEASE PLEASE let me know if anyone is able to help me retrieve my birth certificate, I am more than happy and willing to pay for your assistance.
