How long does it's takes to register a newborn baby

[nyhkmom]

yes, totally meant to write that qmh said weekends don't count towards processing and the summer is definitely high baby delivery season so could slow things down. also, qmh told us they didn't submit our son's info to records registration until after he was actually discharged from qmh. this added to the longer time since he had to spend some time in the special baby care unit.

Honestly I am a bit shocked that they submitted your sons's info only after he was discharged from qmh, not after he was born. Hmmm

yes, we thought it was odd too since we had past the usual 5 days and still couldn't register online for an appointment. i was discharged before my son since he went into the special baby care unit so was following up on this since we wanted to travel back home with the baby for a visit so needed to start processing his usa passport and hk visa asap. the qmh nurse told us that they didn't submit until after he was discharged, hence why his record was not showing up to make an online appt.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try to push qmh to make all documents ready before they will discharge me. Hope that it will help.
