What is it you're looking for?

Birth

If they were born in Almere, you need to register your child at Almere town hall within 3 days of the birth of your baby. Weekend days also count. Please refer to the birth registration deadline for more information. If the child was born in another municipality, you must register the birth with that municipality within 3 days of their birth.

You can submit a digital registration if at least 1 of the parents is a Dutch national. Only the mother or father can digitally register the birth. 

Do you still have to acknowledge your child and has he or she already been born? Then you can't digitally register the birth and you’ll need to make an appointment.

This form is only available in Dutch.

You can make an appointment if you can’t digitally register the birth. Call 14 036 if you need some further assistance.

Do you live in Almere? Then register your child for the heel prick and hearing screening at JGZ Almere yourself. Do this as soon as possible: the heel prick screening must be done within 8 days of your child’s birth.
