Municipality of Rijssen-Holten: registering a birth

What do I bring with me with the declaration?

• Your valid ID.
• A valid ID from the mother.
• a birth certificate from the hospital or midwife.

Possibly:

• a marriage or partnership booklet. You may have your child mentioned in this, but this is not mandatory. 
• proof of registration stating your marital status, if you live abroad. 
• a copy of the certificate of recognition of the unborn child. You received this copy with the acknowledgment.
• a statement of parentage

You can make an appointment for the declaration. The registrar of births, marriages and deaths will then draw up a birth certificate. This states where your child was born and what it is called.

Registering a birth is free of charge. A birth certificate costs: € 16,60
