Service Description
The birth of a child must be reported to the registry office responsible for the place of birth. In the case of a home birth, the birth must be reported by you as the parent with custody in person to the registry office within one week. If you as the parent are prevented from reporting the birth, the birth must be reported by another person who was present at the birth.
Who should I contact?
Please contact the registry office in whose jurisdiction the child was born.
Which documents are required?
As a rule, you must present the originals of all the certificates and documents listed below for certification at the registry office. Foreign documents must always be translated by an interpreter authorized in Germany. In special cases, further documents may be required.
- Identity documents of mother and father (identity card or passport)
- Parents who are married to each other
- Marriage certificate
- Birth certificates of both parents
- Parents who are not married to each other:
- Birth certificates of both parents
- Acknowledgement of paternity (if already made prenatally) and, if applicable, declaration of custody
If the marital status of the mother is "divorced" or "widowed", the marriage certificate of the dissolved marriage as well as proof of the divorce of the marriage (final judgment) or the death certificate of the spouse must also be submitted.
What are the fees?
The notification of a birth at the registry office is free of charge for you. Birth certificates for applying for parental allowance, child benefit and maternity assistance are also free of charge. A birth certificate for private purposes costs € 10.00.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
Notification of the birth of the child must be made within one week at the registry office responsible for the place of birth.
