Birth announcement

The patient disposition reports the birth within the legally prescribed 3 days to the Zivilstandsamt Basel-Stadt. The birth is then certified. To do this, the Zivilstandsamt requires various documents that vary depending on the civil status, place of residence and citizenship.

Please submit the required documents after the birth here:
