Miscarriage: Certificate

Upon request, the registry office issues a certificate of miscarriage.

A miscarriage (womb fruit that was stillborn and weighs less than 500g) can be reported by a person who would have been entitled to personal care in the event of a live birth to the registry office in whose jurisdiction the miscarriage occurred. At the request of the notary, the registry office issues a certificate.

Proof that a miscarriage has taken place, for example:

  • Maternity passport,
  • certificate of miscarriage from the hospital;
  • if applicable, certificate of burial of the miscarriage;
  • Proof of identity: identity card or passport of the person indicating it.
