  4. dWhen enrolling the child at schoolAu moment de l’inscription à l’école

Why?

Registering a birth is compulsory. It must be done at the town hall (mairie) of the place of birth, within 5 days of the delivery. The birth certificate then makes it possible to obtain social rights and identity papers, and to enrol the child at school.
