Having a Baby in Stuttgart

The birth must be registered at the registry office. If born in hospital, the clinic handles this for you – you don't need to do anything! The birth certificate arrives by mail.

Children are curious – and that leads to accidents. Statutory accident insurance only applies at nursery and school, not at home or during leisure time. Private accident insurance and parents' risk life insurance provide all-round family protection.

Accidents happen faster than you think – and children are active. Child accident insurance pays for permanent injuries, liability insurance protects when your child accidentally damages something.

If you are not married, the father must officially acknowledge paternity. This can be done before the birth and saves stress later!

AmtPilot helps you understand and properly prepare the parental allowance application. You'll be guided step by step through all questions and then safely forwarded to the official application.

You receive child benefit monthly from the family benefits office – currently €250 per child. You can submit the application completely online.

Child benefit of over €250 per month can go straight into savings – in 18 years your child will have a solid financial start. A children's account or ETF savings plan costs nothing and runs automatically.

Register your child with your health insurance. In public insurance, they are automatically covered under family insurance free of charge.
