The registration of a child's birth is a service offered free of charge by the RNP (Registro Nacional de las Personas) National Registry of Individuals. The registration can be made in municipalities throughout the country.

To register the birth of a child, one or both parents must go in person to the civil registry office in the municipality where the birth occurred and fill out a birth registration form, standardized throughout the country.

Moreover, one or both parents must present their own identity card and a medical certificate (reporte médico) for the birth, if the birth took place in a hospital.

If the child was born at home, the birth report must be provided by the midwife (constancia de la partera), or by any other person who attended to the mother and the newborn.

The birth report, submitted at the time of registration, must contain:

  • the midwife's full name
  • the number of her identity card
  • her place of residence
  • her signature confirming that she was the person in charge during the birth
