Your Dominican birth certificate is the first document you'll need for a Dominican passport or cédula, your children's dual citizenship, a marriage or a USCIS case. Requesting it yourself means finding someone in the DR, lines and lost workdays. With us, you just send your details and we do the rest.

The extract and long form no longer exist
Since July 1, 2025, the JCE issues birth, marriage, divorce, acknowledgment and death certificates in a single format. You used to choose between the “extracto” (summary) and the “inextensa” (full copy), and many people ordered the wrong one. Now there is just one birth certificate, valid for your cédula, passport, USCIS or anything else. Older certificates with a QR code remain valid, but if yours is very old or damaged, it's better to request a new one.
