According to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), birth notification is done by an individual or institution to the registrar of vital events in a country, This birth notification role is usually performed by healthcare institutions and midwives, and in a limited number of cases by a local government official, like a tribe chief.
With it, it is possible to register the birth and get the baby’s birth certificate.
The birth certificate is a vital registration that documents the birth of a child. Leader, instruct the pregnant woman on the importance of the birth certificate and remind her that this registration should be done as soon as possible.
Leader, see how birth registration works in your country: The Philippines
Registration is free of charge and works this way:
- 1. At the location where the baby was born, the nurse interviews the mother or father and fills out the Birth Registration Form;
- If the parents are legally married with a registered marriage certificate, it is the hospital or birth clinic that registers the child in the local registration; in this way, the town will be responsible for forwarding the child's registration to the Philippine Statistics Agency ( PSA) (former national census).
- If the parents are common-law husbands and wives or are not legally married, it is the obligation of the parents to register the child in the municipal registry.
