The civil registration laws of Chile require that when a child dies, even within a few minutes of birth, the child is recorded in the death registers. However, before burial the child needs to be entered in the birth registers. When a child is born dead, it is not recorded in either the birth or death registers. A temporary file is kept with the names of the parents. | The civil registration laws of Chile require that when a child dies, even within a few minutes of birth, the child is recorded in the death registers.
