Indicate miscarriage

Upon request, the registry office may issue a certificate of miscarriage to the complainant.

The notification must be made orally or in writing.

For the complete notification, a certificate of miscarriage issued by a doctor or a midwife or an obstetrician, an identity card, passport or other recognized passport replacement document of the parents as well as an indication of the intended surname and first name of the child are required.

On the basis of the information, the registry office issues the certificate.

Please contact the registry office of the municipal or city administration in whose area of responsibility the miscarriage took place.

The responsibility lies with the registry office of the municipal or city administration, in whose area of responsibility the miscarriage took place.

There was a miscarriage, this was reported to the responsible registry office with the necessary documents.

The notification is only possible if you would have been entitled to personal care at the time of the live birth of the child, i.e. You were married to each other as parents at the time of birth or unmarried as parents before the birth of the child. If both do not apply, the right to apply lies solely with you as the mother.

• A certificate of miscarriage issued by a doctor or midwife or obstetrician
• An identity card, passport or other recognized passport replacement document of the parents
• An indication of the child's intended surname and first name
• Mother's passport
• If applicable, certificate of burial of the miscarriage

• There may be costs for issuing a certificate of miscarriage.

As a rule, there are no significant deadlines, as this is a matter of coping with grief of the persons concerned. Since there is no notarization and the certificate has no legal effects, e.g. the deadlines for reporting a live birth are out of the question here.

As a rule, the issuance takes place immediately.
