Municipality of Tiel: registering a stillborn baby

A stillbirth can be registered by:

  • the father or female partner of the mother;
  • the mother;
  • an employee of the hospital;
  • the funeral home;
  • others who know about the death.

Registration in the BRP

You can register your stillborn child in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database) if you live or will be living in the Netherlands.

The death must be registered before the funeral or cremation takes place.

You must bring this with you to the appointment:

  • a valid proof of death (passport, ID card or driver's license)
  •  if your child was not born in Tiel: the birth certificate (lifeless) 
  • definitively your marriage certificate, so that we can add your child

If your child was stillborn, make an appointment with the municipality where your child was born to register the birth. It is possible to erkennen (acknowledge parenthood) of your stillborn child upon registration. You can also have your child recorded in your trouwboekje (Livret de Famille or Family Book).

Booking an appointment

To make an appointment, you can call the public affairs team on working days, telephone: +31344637111.

It is free to have a certificate drawn up. An afschrift (official copy) of the certificate is also free.
