We Manage the Process
Getting divorced in the Dominican Republic while living abroad should not mean hiring an attorney and then spending months trying to find out what is happening with your case.
Our service simplifies the process. We evaluate your situation, coordinate the appropriate attorney based on the type of divorce and the circumstances of your case, manage the process, and follow it through to completion.
You maintain a single point of contact with Dominican Vital Records throughout the process. You do not have to chase different professionals or depend on receiving information only when something happens.
Follow-Up and Communication Throughout the Process
Consistent communication is an essential part of our service.
Throughout the process, you will receive periodic updates regarding the status of your divorce. If there is progress, we let you know. If the case is still awaiting an action or response, we let you know that as well.
A lack of new developments should not mean a lack of information. We continue following up and keep you informed until the process is completed.
Why Did We Create This Service?
Dominican Vital Records began offering divorce management after receiving inquiries from people who had hired someone to handle a divorce in the Dominican Republic and, months later, still did not clearly know what had happened with their case.
In some situations, the client had already paid but had very little information about the progress of the process. In others, the client had not received the divorce judgment, divorce certificate, or documentation necessary to properly confirm that the process had been completed.
We do more than connect you with an attorney. We manage the process, follow up on its progress, and maintain communication with you through the completion of the service.
How Does It Work?
From the initial evaluation through the delivery of your final documents, we coordinate every stage of the process.

The cost depends on the circumstances of the case and the professional services required. After reviewing your initial request, we will prepare the appropriate quote before the process begins.

The initial request allows us to review the basic information and determine how we can manage your case. Any applicable fee for an additional review, consultation, or engagement will be disclosed before you proceed.
Can I manage my divorce if I live in the United States?
Yes. Our service is also designed for clients who live outside the Dominican Republic. We coordinate the necessary stages locally and let you know what documentation you will need to provide.
Do I have to travel to the Dominican Republic?
This will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. After the initial evaluation, we can determine what will be required for your particular process.
Can I choose the city where the divorce will be handled?
You may let us know if you have a preference. If you do not, we will evaluate your case and coordinate the appropriate or most practical option based on the circumstances.
Who will perform the legal work?
When the process requires legal representation or other legal work, those services are performed by the appropriate attorney. Dominican Vital Records coordinates the process and maintains ongoing follow-up and communication with the client.
Is Dominican Vital Records a law firm?
No. Dominican Vital Records is a private document management and service coordination company. Legal services that require an attorney are performed by the appropriate legal professional.
How will I know what is happening with my divorce?
You will receive periodic updates throughout the process. We will keep you informed about both new developments and periods when the case remains pending an action, response, or other necessary step.
Will I receive updates even when there is no new development?
Yes. Consistent communication is part of our service. If there is no substantial change during a particular period, we will still inform you of the current status and continue following up on the process.
What will I receive when my divorce is completed?
At the conclusion of the process, we coordinate the delivery of the corresponding divorce judgment and divorce certificate. We can also coordinate additional contracted services such as apostille, translation, or international shipping.
How will I know that the divorce process is actually complete?
Completion of the service is not based solely on a verbal confirmation. We manage the corresponding final documentation so that you have documentary evidence of the outcome of the process.
What happens if the process takes longer than expected?
Processing times may depend on courts, registries, legal professionals, and other actions outside Dominican Vital Records’ direct control. While the process remains active, we will continue following up and keeping you informed.
Can I speak with someone before hiring the service?
The initial request allows us to review the basic information and determine the next step. If your case requires a conversation or additional review, we will explain how to proceed and disclose any applicable fee before scheduling it.
Can I hire only apostille or shipping services for my final documents?
Depending on the documents and their current status, Dominican Vital Records may be able to provide additional document services separately.
What happens if my case requires something that was not originally included?
If an additional service outside the agreed scope is identified during the evaluation or process, we will inform you before proceeding and explain any additional cost that may apply.
