Stillbirth, registration
What is it?
If your child is stillborn after a pregnancy of 24 weeks or more, you must register the birth. You must file the registration with the civil registry office of the municipality where your child was born.
Both the father and the mother may file a death certificate. However, others who are aware of the death may also do so. In addition, hospital staff or the funeral director may also file a death certificate.
What should I do?
To register a stillborn child, you will need:
- your valid ID
- the doctor's certificate of your child's death
