Here, we introduce the things you need to do, when you have a baby in Japan.
●Birth Registration or "SHUSSHO TODOKE"
When your baby is born, be sure to register his/her birth by submitting "SHUSSHO TODOKE" format.
Registration needs to be done within 14days after birth.
Where to get a registration format：Hospital of delivery or municipal office.
Who fills in the registration format：Father or mother. Anyone can submit the "SHUSSHO TODOKE" format at the municipal office.
Where to register：Municipal office close to where the baby was born, or where the father or mother resides.
What to bring：Other than the "SHUSSHO TODOKE" format, the same personal seal of the father or mother as put to the format; Mother & Child Health Handbook "BOSHI KENKO TECHO" ; Identification paper.
※Required documents may vary according to region. Please confirm at your municipal office.
If the baby is of foreign nationality, documents will also be required for submission to the embassy and immigration bureau.
Please refer to the following for details.

●Home Visits
Shortly after the baby is born, the municipal office will send a midwife or public health nurse to visit you at home.
It is to check on the baby and the mother's state after birth. Usually, the date/time of the home visit is decided on the phone.
If they cannot reach you, they may try to visit you without notice.
If a few months have passed and you still have not received any word from them, check with the municipal office of your region.
To receive a home visit, you need to submit a birth report form "SHUSSHO RENRAKU HYO".
Be sure to fill it in and submit in person or by mail to the municipal office right after the baby is born.
You can find the form in your Mother & Child Health Handbook "BOSHI KENKO TECHO" or Booklet of Coupons for Pregnancy Checkups "NINPU KENKOSHINSA HIYO HOJOKEN".
If you do not have the form, it is available at the municipal office.
★Child Care Support website
