Municipality of Nissewaard: registering a stillborn baby
We realize that it is extremely sad if your child dies before or during childbirth. For this reason you can register your child in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP). It does not matter how long the pregnancy lasted. The BRP contains all data of people who live or have lived in the Netherlands. You register your stillborn child in the municipality where you live. After registration you can see your child(ren) via mijnoverheid.nl. Furthermore, only the registrar sees that information. Other governments do not receive information about a stillborn child. Registration is not mandatory. You can always have us delete your registration if you change your mind.
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.
