Our Two-Stage Process
Our two-stage system lets you pay as you go — first for the record search, then for the official certificate once it’s confirmed.
Stage 1 - Record Search
Pay only the search fee. We search for your birth record in Dominican civil registry offices. Once found we shall ask the registry office to digitise it, approve it, and apply for validation. We'll send you a draft scan for verification before proceeding. For a broader overview of how to obtain a Dominican birth certificate, visit our main page.
Stage 2 - Certificate Delivery
After you approve the draft, pay for the official certificate. We obtain it with full legalization and apostille, then ship it via certified international mail (typically 2–8 weeks delivery).
