Municipality of Aalsmeer: registering a birth

• A valid passport or identity card. 
• A valid passport or identity card of the child’s mother. 

If applicable, also bring one of the following documents: 

• Declaration of birth from the hospital or midwife (if you have one). 
• Your marriage or partnership booklet, if you want the municipality to include your child’s name in it. 
• A copy of the certificate of acknowledgement of parentage if the child was acknowledged before birth. 
• A declaration of last name choice, only for the birth of your first child. 
• A statement from the Artificial Insemination Donor Data Foundation (website in Dutch), if applicable. 
• Your (legalised) marriage certificate if you were married abroad and it has not been registered in the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen; BRP).

The registration of a birth is free. You do pay costs for a copy or extract of the birth certificate or for a birth booklet. For more information, please see the municipality’s website.
