Our enquiries come from many different sources:     

  1. From non-Dominicans who married in the Dominican Republic, mainly in Playa Dorada and Punta Cana in the Nineties and the Noughties, who have either mislaid their Dominican marriage certificate, or never ever received it after they had been promised it would be mailed to them. 
  2. From Dominicans now living overseas who require a copy of their own birth certificate or their parents' or grandparents' marriage certificate or death certificate. 
  3. From lawyers representing any of the above. 
  4. From law-enforcement officials, state troopers, police and deportation officers wanting to verify dates of birth of persons of interest.
  5. From insurance companies and investigations agencies asking us to conduct investigations for them.

"After a year of searching for ways and making appointments with lawyers to obtain my grandparents' marriage certificate so that I could renew my passport, was very frustrating and that whole year I was without a passport. I then started to google and search the internet, then I found your website where I contacted Steven who helped me and kept me informed every step of the way what was going on. I could not believe that I had actually gotten through, while other law firms were taking months and still up to today they haven't found anything. Thanks to Steve and his team I am now able to renew my passport and travel." from WZ,

"We are a firm of solicitors based in North West England. Our client instructed us to petition for divorce in the UK however unfortunately her husband decided to take the marriage certificate in the hope this would delay proceedings. As our client married her husband in the Dominican Republic we had to find a company to locate, certify and send the marriage certificate to us. When we began searching Google we came across a company called Cocotours and contacted them via email. We received a response from Mr Steve McQueen very shortly after our initial enquiry and he provided us with a very reasonable quote to fulfil our instructions. Sure enough, he delivered exactly what he promised and kept us fully informed on a regular basis. I certainly recommend Cocotours! Thank you Steve!
