Description
The birth of a child must be reported to the registry office responsible for the place of birth.
If your child is born in a hospital or other obstetric institution, the birth notification will be taken over by this institution. In this case, you should inquire in good time at the maternity institution what papers and documents you need to bring with you to the date of delivery. .
If the birth does not take place in a hospital or other institution where obstetric care is provided (home birth), the birth must be reported personally to the registry office by a parent with custody within one week.
