HOW THE SERVICE WORKS
The Process is Completed in Two Stages
We first locate and verify the divorce record. Only after the information has been confirmed can you decide which official document you need to request.
Divorce Record Search and Verification
We first locate the divorce record using the information available. Depending on the case, the search may require checking civil registry records, court information, or documentation related to the judicial proceedings.
Once the record has been located, we will send you the information found so you can confirm that it corresponds to the divorce you are looking for.
Request Official Divorce Documents
Once the record has been confirmed, you can request the document required for your procedure. Depending on your needs, we can obtain the divorce certificate, divorce judgment, or a copy of the court file.
When applicable, we can also arrange legalization, apostille, and international shipping.
Record search and verification and the retrieval of official documents are separate stages and are priced separately.
STAGE 1 · RECORD SEARCH
Search and Verification Request
Complete the form to begin the search for a divorce record in the Dominican Republic.
The search fee depends primarily on the age of the divorce and the amount of information available. Previous documents, court information, an approximate date, or the location where the proceedings took place can significantly assist the search.
Search and verification corresponds only to Stage 1. Once the record has been located and the information confirmed, you can separately request the divorce certificate, judgment, or court file.
