Birth Certificate
Where is the certificate issued?
• The registry office in the place of birth
When should the certificate be issued?
• Within one week after birth (this is often handled by the maternity hospital)
Required documents:
• ID card
• Birth certificate from the hospital
• parents’ birth certificates
• Marriage certificate or certified copy from the family register
For unmarried couples:
• ID card
• Mother’s birth certificate
• Acknowledgment of paternity, if already available
The registry office will then automatically handle the registration with the residents’ registration office.
