On request, the competent registry office will issue a certificate of notification of a miscarriage.

Miscarriage is the term used to describe the fetus that showed no signs of life (heartbeat, pulsating umbilical cord, lung breathing) when separated from the womb, weighed less than 500 grams and did not reach the 24th week of pregnancy.

Upon request, the registry office can issue the complainant with a certificate in accordance with § 31 PStV on the notification of a miscarriage.

There was a miscarriage, this was reported to the responsible registry office with the necessary documents.

The notification is only possible if you would have been entitled to personal care if the child was born alive, i.e. they were married to each other as parents at the time of birth or who made a joint declaration of custody as unmarried parents before the birth of the child. If neither applies, the right to apply lies solely with you as the mother.
