Having a new baby
If you are pregnant or just had a baby, you may be wondering what you have to arrange and where. We will be happy to help you.
How to claim child benefit
Claiming child benefit is easy. You must register your child with your municipality (gemeente). The municipality will then inform us of the birth of your child. We will then automatically send you a letter. Once you have received our letter, you can submit the child benefit claim online via My SVB.
If you are already receiving child benefit for another child, you generally do not have to do anything.
What else you need to do
On the government’s website, you will find a useful checklist of things you have to arrange when you have a baby. You can also watch the short video ‘Wat moet ik regelen als ik een kind krijg’ (What do I have to arrange when I have a baby?).
