Apply for birth registers
Description
The following data are recorded in the birth register:
- the first and last names of the child,
- place, day and hour of birth and the sex of the child,
- the first and surnames of the parents
- at the request of a parent, his legal affiliation to a religious community which is a body governed by public law.
The mother of the child is the woman who gave birth to the child.
The father of the child is the husband of a married mother. If the child is born after the death of the husband, that man is considered a father, provided that the birth took place within 300 days of his death. If the mother is divorced and the child is born under the legal force of the divorce judgment, the former husband is not considered to be the father of the child.
If the mother is not married at the time of birth, a man can only be registered as a father at the time of birth if the latter has already recognised paternity. Otherwise, the competent authority shall subsequently register the father in the birth register.
The responsibility lies with the municipality and the city in whose jurisdiction the birth took place.
