Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe birth of a child must be reported to the registry office responsible for the place of birth.
If your child is born in a hospital or other facility where obstetric care is provided, this facility will be responsible for registering the birth. In this case, you should enquire at the maternity facility in good time about which documents you need to bring with you to the delivery date. .
If the birth does not take place in a hospital or other facility where obstetric care is provided (home birth), the birth must be registered in person by a parent with custody at the registry office within one week. If the parents are unable to register the birth, the birth must be registered by another person who was present at the birth.
Every child born in the area of the Bad Marienberg municipality must be entered in the register of births at the Bad Marienberg registry office within one week. The place of birth is therefore decisive, not the registration address of the mother or parents.
