Hi,

About to have a baby or already had children? Let's share your experience about the paperworks for registering a birth in France.

What are the formalities to obtain a birth certificate?

What is the procedure to follow if both parents are of the same nationality or for a mixed couple?

Thank you in advance for participating,

David
