To apply for a birth permit, according to policy requirements, the application for a birth permit can be based on the father or mother’s registered residence, but during the actual application process, you may need to consult the local family planning management unit in detail to avoid wasting time.

2. Time to create a small card: Before 6 weeks of pregnancy, because the pregnancy period is short, the gestational sac can be seen, but the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat cannot be observed. Generally, it takes until 6 or 12 weeks to confirm.
