Hello all,
My partner is polish and I am not, we live in Czech Republic. We are considering for giving birth to our baby in Poland. I just started the research on the feedback and experience and it all looks much better with no knoweledge of polish language than here in Prague, even if you speak a little of Czech! :-)

Now I would like to ask your experience on the paperwork side, what documentation is needed in order to have the baby registered there?

I thank you in advance for all replies! :-)

From what I have read on some Polish websites, these are documents needed, when delivering a child in Poland:
- a photo ID,
- a proof if insurance (in a public hospital) - non-insured may have to pay for yourself for everything (does not apply to emergency cases - in that circumstance nobody should charge a fee)

- the medical records of pregnancy,
- additional medical records would be helpful, like determination of blood group and Rh, complete blood count (morphology), Fetal & Prenatal Ultrasound
