What is listed as the place of residence for a newborn without a hospital listed on the death certificate?

When a death certificate is filed for a newborn who dies without being admitted to a hospital, the place of residence is typically recorded as the parents' residence. This is because the newborn's legal residence is derived from that of the parents.

In many jurisdictions, including West Virginia, the law requires that the place of residence is disclosed accurately on official documents. Since the infant did not have a separate physical location, such as a hospital, the best representation of their domicile is the home or residence of the parents.

The other options may seem relevant; however, they do not apply in this context. A hospital address would not be appropriate since the newborn did not receive hospital care. State residence typically refers to a broader jurisdiction and is not specific enough to detail where the parents live. The funeral home address is also irrelevant for determining the residency of the newborn at the time of death.
