More about the Marriage Certificate
Who is eligible to apply?
Any person over 18 years of age has the right to obtain his or her Certificate, as long as he or she is married in Puerto Rico. In addition, their father or mother, legal representative, legal custodian, guardian or heirs.
On what date did the current format begin?
The Puerto Rico Demographic Registry Certificates had a change in the official format, effective July 1, 2010. This was done to correct security issues. Therefore, they are valid, at least in Puerto Rico, only if they were issued after that date. In order to easily differentiate them, these new Marriage Certificates are green in color.
Since when are there records in the Registry?
The Demographic Registry began in 1931. However, they have many records from 1885 to 1931, from what is known as the "Civil Registration" period. If necessary, you can also search the FamilySearch.org or Ancestry.com databases. Anyway, if your case is prior to 1885, we regret that we will not be able to assist you.
What type of Certificate do I need?
- Regular: the most common, for the vast majority of cases; in letter size. In the next section we indicate the time the process takes.
- Literal or long: the least common, only for some cases; it is in legal size. Provides more detailed information. For example, who made the wedding official, etc. Due to the additional time it takes to search the original records, it can take up to 30 days.
How long does processing and shipping take?
For the Certificate regularthe normal processing time is 10 working days . We also have an "express" or "super express" service(5 or 3 business days, respectively), for an additional cost at checkout.
In addition, the shipping time ( i.e., the time it takes for the mail to arrive) will depend on the mail service you choose ("Priority" or "Express"). We ship anywhere in the world. For PR or USA, we use the federal mail system ("US Postal Service"). The shipping cost will be automatically calculated depending on the address you enter at checkout. International shipments are shipped via FedEx® or UPS®.
