Birth Registration and Birth Certificates

Back when I had my babies, you had to remember, in the weeks after your baby was born, to go to City Hall and pay for a birth registration application. If your baby needed special care after birth or you had breastfeeding or mothering challenges that required lots of focus, remembering to submit the appropriate paperwork at City Hall may very well have completely slipped your mind.

In this era of online and telephone payments and digital applications, when you don’t even need to buy a physical ticket to get on a plane, walking into City Hall may totally fall off the radar.

Thank goodness the various branches of the government have gotten their acts together and put the entire birth registration process online. Now, after you nurse your new baby and put her down for a sleep in the middle of the night, you can log on to the government website and submit all the info to register for her birth and order a birth certificate.
