If the mother or the other parent cannot register the birth, someone else can register the birth:
Someone who was present at the birth, for example a family member or friend.
An adult housemate of the mother, if she gave birth at home.
The head of the hospital, the prison or another institution where the birth has taken place.
In case there is nobody who can register your child, the mayor of the municipality will register the birth. The mayor will assign a civil servant to register the birth. If someone else registers the birth, it is not possible to register online. Call 14 071 to make an appointment to come to the service desk.
