Municipality of Nissewaard: registering a stillborn baby
If your baby was stillborn, you must register the birth with the municipality where the birth took place within six business days. Both the mother and father are allowed to register the birth. However, you can also ask the hospital or funeral director to do it for you.
See the website for more information.
If your child was stillborn, you make an appointment with the municipality where your child was born for the registration. It is possible to acknowledge a stillborn child when registering. Call us to make an appointment.
Free of charge.
