Your midwife or hospital social worker will provide you with a Birth Registration Form while in hospital and you have 60 days to register your baby’s birth in your state.
The records will show the baby as stillborn and you will not need to register the death of your baby.
It is free to register the birth. As a memento of your precious baby, you can choose to purchase a birth certificate or a decorative certificate design, subject to your state.
Our community have found this task challenging, so take your time and ask a family member, close friend or social worker to help.
All information should be provided while in the hospital, however, please refer to state registration websites for more information
