Description
What is a Certified Copy?
By means of a certified copy, an authorized public official certifies that a document is a true and exact copy of the original. The certified copy is a common requirement for legal procedures in Puerto Rico. For example, if you are divorced and wish to remarry, you may be asked to provide a certified copy of the divorce decree. However, most likely you will only be asked for the Certificate of Divorce. Therefore, it is important that, before ordering, you verify exactly what they are asking for.
If you are getting married abroad, you can order with us a Certificate of Divorce or, if you have never been married, a Certificate of Unmarriage. These two (2) Certificates, Divorce or Single Status, can be obtained more quickly than a certified copy as the latter involves searching the court records.
On the other hand, we can also obtain a certified copy of a deed. This is as long as you appear in it or you are entitled to it as an heir. On the other hand, if what you need is a copy of a will, you should go to this other direct link on Will Search.In addition,if necessary, we can obtain documents from the Land Registry.
Who is entitled to a copy of a divorce decree?
It is important to note that family cases, such as divorces, are confidential. Therefore, we can only obtain a divorce decree if you were one of the parties or are an heir. Once you order, we will email you a document to sign, which will serve as authorization for us to complete the process.
How long does the certified copy take and how is the shipping?
This process can take up to 30 days (plus shipping time), depending on the date of the document and the town where it was issued. The shipping cost will be automatically calculated depending on the address you enter when finalizing your order. We ship anywhere in the world. Shipments to the U.S. or PR are through federal mail and international shipments via FedEx® or UPS®.
What if I need to use the document abroad?
In order for the certified copy to be valid abroad(outside PR or USA), it is necessary to apply an "Apostille". This process involves a separate procedure on our part, and therefore involves an additional cost.
In which language(s) is the document issued?
PR government court documents are almost always only in Spanish. However, if you wish, you can order a Certified English Translation with us. The final price of the translation will depend on the number of pages of the document. Therefore, you should first consult with us so that we can give you an estimate of the total cost before ordering.

The fee is very affordable and well-worth the cost. It would have been many times more expensive to travel to Puerto Rico to obtain the documents personally, and extremely difficult to do given the COVID-19 situation.

Diana Frias- Vargas (verified owner) –
It has been a satisfying experience, the lawyer was in contact with me all the time and most importantly the impossible made it possible to get a document almost 21 years ago in less than 15 days. Thank you for restoring the confidence of one who does not know you in person, but with this work I recommend you blindly. Blessings to your team and keep it even though they will continue to grow that spirit of service and dedication.
