About your deadline

Birth
Month 1Month 2Month 3
Deadline

You have 3 months after birth to submit. Every month past the deadline is one full month of Basiselterngeld permanently lost. The application can't be sent before birth because you need the certificate, but everything else can be ready and waiting, so the day it arrives you just drop the envelope in the mail.

Pre-filled PDF, ready the day the certificate arrives.
