How long does it take for an elderly child to get a birth certificate?
With the progress of society and the aggravation of the aging population, more and more couples choose to welcome new life in their old age. However, for elderly couples who give birth, they need to apply for a birth certificate in order to enjoy the relevant welfare policies. So, how long is the handling time of the birth certificate for the elderly?
1. Preparation and preliminary review of application materials
The first step to apply for a birth certificate for the elderly is to prepare the application materials and conduct preliminary review. Couples need to prepare their own identity cards, household registration books and marriage certificates, as well as the birth certificates of newborns, household registration books and marriage certificates of both parents. In addition, it is also necessary to provide medical certificates such as the newborn physical examination report issued by the hospital. Once the application materials are ready, they can be submitted to the relevant departments for preliminary review. The preliminary examination is mainly to verify the authenticity and integrity of the application materials.
Generally, the preliminary review will not take too long, and can be completed within one week. If the materials are complete and all documents meet the requirements, the applicant will be informed of the preliminary review results by phone or email.
2. Hospital verification and notarization
After passing the preliminary examination, elderly child-bearing couples need to choose a reliable hospital for verification. Generally, public hospitals close to home and enjoying good reputation will be the first choice. The hospital will conduct medical testing of the birth certificate of the newborn to verify its authenticity and legitimacy. The hospital will feed back the relevant results to the household registration department after completing the test.
After receiving the feedback from the hospital, the household registration department will continue to verify the application. If all the materials are true and reliable, the identity of the applicant will be determined and notarized. The function of notarization is to ensure the authenticity and credibility of the birth certificate. The whole verification and notarization process generally takes one week to one month.
3. Transfer to household registration department
After verification and notarization, relevant materials will be handed over to the household registration department. The household registration department will check the materials to ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of all information. Once the overall verification is correct, the household registration department will officially handle the birth certificate. It usually takes one to two weeks to complete this step.
It is worth noting that the household registration departments in different regions have different requirements for processing speed. Some busy urban household registration departments may take a long time to handle. However, most of the household registration departments will speed up the processing as much as possible to meet the needs of applicants.
4. Get a birth certificate
Once the household registration department completes the handling of the birth certificate, the applicant can take the identity certificate and relevant materials to get the birth certificate. Under normal circumstances, the whole process of obtaining a birth certificate only takes a few minutes to half an hour. Some places with large populations may take longer.
To sum up, it takes about one month for the elderly to apply for a birth certificate. However, the specific time is still affected by various links, such as material preparation, hospital verification, notarization and the efficiency of the household registration department. Applicants need to make preparations in advance and wait patiently for the processing results.
