On what date did the current format begin?
Puerto Rico Birth Certificates had a change in the official format, effective July 1st, 2010. This was done to correct security issues. Therefore, they are valid, at least for use in Puerto Rico, only if they were issued after that date. Just in case, for easy differentiation, in addition to indicating the "Date Issued" at the bottom of the document, these new Certificates are coloured blue.
Since when are there records in the Registry?
The Demographic Registry of Puerto Rico began in 1931. However, they have many records from 1885 to 1931, from the stage known as the "Registro Civil". Prior to 1885 there is no documentation, but you could go to the parish or church of the town of birth to verify the baptismal records. Also, if necessary, you can search the databases at FamilySearch.org or Ancestry.com. Finally, if your case is pre-1885, we regret that we will not be able to assist you.
What other Certificates do you process?
It is also possible to process your Certificate of Marriage, Divorce or Single Status. To see the complete list of the Certificates we work with, you can go to the link of the Demographic Registry.
