BRP registration
You can register your stillborn child in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) if you live or will be living in the Netherlands.
The death registration must be done before the burial or cremation takes place.
If your child is stillborn, please make an appointment at the municipality where your child was born to register. It is possible to acknowledge a stillborn child upon registration. You can also have your child included in your marriage booklet.
