Birth permit process simplified for migrants (2)

To prove it is their first child, husbands and wives basically have to submit proof provided by community administrators both in their hukou registration places and their current workplaces.

"I spent more than a month getting the permit done after I sought help from a friend with the government. I had to travel several times between Beijing and Shijiazhuang, where my hukou is registered, to ask for paper permits to prove I was not married or with children," a resident in Beijing surnamed Wang told the Global Times.

Wang said that both the Shijiazhuang and Beijing officers said the other side was responsible for the permit and refused to give him the paperwork he needed, until just one month before his baby was born in October.

According to the new policy, the administrators at both the household registration location and workplaces are responsible, and officers who attempt to dodge their responsibilities or delay the procedures will be punished. Authorities should also publicize and explain the process, and couples can also ask others to go through the procedures for them if they are unavailable.
