Register lifeless child
When a child is born lifeless, it is a great emotional loss. If you want, you can register your baby in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP). This is not mandatory. You make your request for registration to the municipality where you live.
With this registration, your lifeless child is visible to you via MijnOverheid.nl and on an extract from the BRP.
How does it work?
- You make a request to the municipality where you live.
- In order to register your baby, you will need a certificate of birth (lifeless) or a certificate of child born lifeless. If you do not have such a certificate, you can still have one prepared in the municipality where your child was born.
- It may happen that the names of your child do not appear on the certificate of birth (lifeless) or certificate of lifeless child. Then you provide the names with your request for registration in the BRP. So parents can provide different names separately. This is no problem in this situation.
To do so, contact the municipality's civil affairs department at 14 0511 or gemeente@t-diel.nl. They will then schedule an appointment with you.
What should I bring?
- A certificate of birth (lifeless) or a certificate of child born lifeless.
- A valid ID.
Your child was born abroad
- Documents of birth, such as a deed prepared abroad stating that your child was born lifeless.
- If it is difficult for you to get these documents, report this to the municipality. Because this is a very personal situation, the rules are handled leniently and understandingly. You can then make a declaration about the birth of your baby at the municipality.
