Description
Description
- We can correct or make name changes on Puerto Rico birth, marriage and death certificates.
Procedure
- Initial consultation: To evaluate your case, you must first send us a message through the contact form, under the subject: "Certificate: Corrections/Changes".
- Verification: If it is a correction, we first go to the Demographic Registry, free of charge, to obtain the original or "literal" certificate. This can take up to 30 days.
- Corrections: With the verbatim certificate, we will be able to assess the error and how to correct it, either via the agency (in some cases) or the court (most).
Via the court
- Original record: When the "informant" on the original certificate, usually the father or mother in the case of a birth, certifies with his signature that the information in the document was correct, then it will be necessary to go to court. Such certification only arises from the original or "literal" certificate, which we can arrange to evaluate your case, free of charge.
- Name changes: Exclusively through the court only.
- Name variations: An "also known by" may be added if the person so desires. This is what is legally known as an "Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriam".
Do you have a U.S. court order?
- Corrections or changes must be made in the place of birth. Therefore, if you have a court order from a court outside PR, it is mandatory to validate it through a judicial process called exequatur. This way, you will be able to enter the Demographic Registry.
Do you need to be in Puerto Rico?
- No. At Abogado Notario Online, we handle everything online.
- Customers outside of PR save on travel and lodging expenses.
Cost
- Includes: All the work and additional arrangements to be made by the lawyer.
- Payment plan: If your case is "via the court", we have the option of 50% deposit, and the balance upon completion, using the following coupon code when ordering: CE50PC
- New certificate: It must be added to the order so that at the end we can obtain the corrected version.
Processing and shipping time
- Via the court: 90 days, with an option of 60 days if you choose express service.
- Via the agency: 30 days.
- Shipping: Cost is automatically calculated based on the address provided when ordering. To USA and PR are by federal mail, and international via FedEx® or UPS®.
