city hall of district in which...

Is this sentence natural? How should I say it?

You need to go to the city hall of district in which your child is born to establish paternity.

Thanks

The use of city hall and district seems incongruous to me. " All would depend on the local customs and nomenclature. In your sentence as it stands, you need the between of and district .
