Registering birth if don't make it to hospital

If you use a midwife then the mid wife would know. I would also assume someone in the family would know to have spoken to a Dr or even visited a hospital with you.

If you suddenly appear with a baby in your arms someone will ask. Also what about your health and well being?

I suggest if you are here go to a hospital and or a doctor and register so there is a record of you and go from there but I am pretty sure that you would get a certificate of birth. However if you and your husband are not Indonesian then you would still need to go to hospital to get papers to present to immigration.

You should choose your hospital and obstetrician/gynecologist and register there. Once everything is on record then if the baby is born at home the hospital and your doctor will assist and advise you for the birth certificate. If you have any queries about registering the birth and birth certificate and applying for a passport then just contact your nearest Australian embassy as they will be able to give you the correct advice.

But what happens if there is no witness?? How can you start the process?

Apart from being extremely unwise, it's very unusual for expats not to make sure the birth is in hospital.
I would think the baby would be viewed with suspicion.
