What paperwork needs to be done when a baby is born, and what Maternify does for you

When a baby is born, in addition to adjusting to life at home, you’ll need to complete several administrative procedures, each involving a different agency and its own form. Here are the main ones:

What is the birth benefit?

This is the application for leave and financial assistance for the birth and care of a child for each parent.

What is the purpose of registering a baby with the Health Registry?

So that the baby is covered by the health care system. It is also a necessary step for applying for other forms of assistance.

Do I need to register the baby with the local government and with the Civil Registry?

Yes. These are the preliminary steps required to apply for most family assistance programs and benefits.

What types of family benefits and tax deductions are available?

Child-rearing assistance, benefits for multiple births, and benefits for large families, among others. Each has its own administering agency, application form, and required documentation.

What does Maternify do for you?

Instead of having to figure out each step of the process, understand the forms, and follow up on every application, our team handles them for you—either individually or through the packages at Birth Registration Services —so you can focus on your baby.

What is the deadline for completing each step of the birth registration process?

  • Registration with the Civil Registry: This is usually done by the hospital within 72 hours of the birth. Otherwise, the family has 10 days to do so, which may be extended to 30 days if there is a valid reason.
  • Birth and Child Care Benefit: It is best to apply for this benefit at the start of your leave. If you apply later, you will only receive payments retroactive to a maximum of 3 months prior to the application.
  • Registering a baby with the Health Registry: There is no legal deadline. If registration is completed before the baby turns 3 months old, it is automatic; after that, you must provide the Family Book or the birth certificate.
  • Income tax deduction: Claim it on the tax return for the year of the child's birth. If you did not claim it, you can correct it within 4 years.

The deadlines are approximate, and some depend on your autonomous community. If you have any questions about your case, we'll review it for you before you submit anything.

What documents do you need for the paperwork package?

At Maternify, the paperwork for the newborn is handled as a single package, not separately. That's why the documentation is submitted just once for the entire package:

  • National ID cards for both parents.
  • Company Certificate.
  • Registration of the baby with the Civil Registry.

If the baby is registered with the Health Registry after turning 3 months old, you will also need the Family Book or the birth certificate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about family procedures

Can maternity leave be distributed in successive periods?

Yes, you can. We'll tell you all about it in our article, "Maternity and Paternity Leave in 2026."

Can I give Maternify services as a gift?

Of course! Many customers give our services as gifts to their loved ones.

Can my company pay for Maternify services?

Of course! Maternify Benefits is already a benefit for employees at several multinational companies. The company decides how much it wants to make available to each employee, and Maternify takes care of them throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum process, so that their return to work is as smooth as possible.

What paperwork needs to be done when a baby is born?

The main steps are applying for the birth benefit, registering the baby with the Health Registry, registering the baby with the municipal government, and registering the birth with the Civil Registry, as well as applying for any family benefits and tax deductions to which you are entitled, such as child-rearing benefits or benefits for large families.

What part of this paperwork does Maternify handle for me?

Our team handles all the paperwork included in the Birth Registration Services package, so you don't have to figure out which forms to fill out or track each application.

What is the deadline for applying for the birth benefit?

It is recommended that you apply as soon as your leave begins, so you can receive benefits starting on the first day. If you apply later, Social Security will only pay benefits retroactively for up to 3 months prior to the date of your application.

How many weeks does maternity leave last?

Since the 2025 reform, each parent is entitled to 19 weeks of paid leave: 17 weeks following the birth and 2 weeks for childcare. The first 6 weeks after the birth are mandatory and full-time, and the 2 weeks for childcare can be used until the child turns 8. You can find all the details in our article on maternity and paternity leave in 2026.

How long do I have to register the baby with the Civil Registry?

In most cases, the hospital itself reports the birth within 72 hours. If it does not, the family has 10 days to register the birth, which can be extended to 30 days if there is a valid reason.

What documents do I need for the paperwork package?

All the procedures are handled together as part of the package, so the documentation is submitted only once for the entire package: both parents’ national ID cards, the company certificate, and the baby’s registration with the Civil Registry.

How long do you have to register the baby with the Health Registry?

There is no legal deadline that would prevent you from doing so, but it’s best to do it before the baby turns 3 months old: after that, registration is automatic, because the Civil Registry reports the birth information. If you do it later, you’ll need to provide the Family Book or the birth certificate.
