Municipality of Midden-Delfland: registering a stillborn baby

• You can make the request if you lived in the Netherlands at the time of birth and were registered in the BRP.
• It does not matter when your child was born or how long the pregnancy lasted.
• You can only register your child for yourself in the BRP. Because it's a very personal situation, you can't do this on behalf of the other parent.

• A certificate of birth (lifeless) or a certificate of stillborn child.
• A valid proof of identity.

Your child was born abroad

Documents of the birth, such as a deed drawn up abroad stating that your child was born lifeless. If it is difficult for you to get these documents, please report this to the municipality. Because this is a very personal situation, the rules are handled mildly and understandingly. You can then make a statement about the birth of your child to the municipality.

• You make a request to the municipality where you live.
• To be able to register your child, a certificate of birth (still lifeless) or a certificate of stillborn child is required. If you do not have such a deed, 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. Then 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 no problem at all in this situation.

Within 4 weeks after you have submitted your request, you will receive a response from the municipality.
