How birth registration and birth certificate are different?
Right after a child is born, it is given a birth registration by a local government. When children are born abroad, or, more precisely, in a country different from the one where they will live with their parents, they are given a birth registration document.
The birth certificate is the main document in this case. It is going to be used throughout the child’s life, including for passport or ID retrieval. The government’s authority issues a birth certificate for identification purposes:
✔parents to be mentioned with all parental rights;
✔name and last name of the newborn;
✔date and place of birth;
✔gender and place of issuance.
On the other hand, the birth registration certificate is issued by local municipal authorities based on information from the maternity house. It is used mainly for statistics ‒ to keep track of medical records of the local population, and legal facts of the birth to be acknowledged internationally.
