Municipality of Krimpenerwaard: registering a stillborn baby

• You can make the request if you lived in the Netherlands at the time of the birth and were registered in the BRP.
• It doesn't matter when your baby was born or how long the pregnancy lasted.
• You can only register your child in the BRP for yourself.

• A certificate of birth (still) or a certificate of a stillborn child.
• A valid ID.

What do I need if my child was born abroad?

• Documents of the birth, such as a certificate drawn up abroad, stating that your child was born stillless.
• If it is difficult for you to obtain these documents, report this to the municipality. Because this is a very personal situation, the rules are dealt with mildly and understandingly. You can get a statement about the birth of your child from the municipality.

• Submit a request to the municipality where you live.
• To be able to register your child, a birth certificate (stillless) or a certificate of stillborn child is required. If you do not have such a certificate, you can still have it drawn up in the municipality where your child was born.
• It is possible that the names of your child are not on the certificate of birth (stillborn) or certificate of stillborn child. In this case you provide the names with your request for registration in the BRP. Parents can therefore specify a different name separately from each other. That is not a problem in this situation.

Drawing up the document is free. You do have to pay a fee for requesting a copy. For more information, please contact the municipality on telephone number 14 0182.
