Description

What is a certified copy?

✅ A certified copy is an official reproduction of a document, issued with a certification confirming its authenticity.

📄 It may include affixed Internal Revenue Service stamps or an equivalent official certification, depending on the type of document and the applicable system.

When is a certified copy required?

⚖️ It is required for legal, government, banking, immigration, or official procedures in Puerto Rico and, on occasion, outside of Puerto Rico.

📌 Certified copies are used for documents such as:

  • Judgments or court orders
  • Court case files or documents
  • Notarized documents or deeds
  • Other official documents when you are asked to provide a “certified” copy

✅ If you were asked for a certified copy, it's because they do not accept an uncertified copy, a photograph, or an uncertified PDF.

Certified copies of divorce decrees

✅ We can obtain a certified copy of a divorce decree, if that is the document you are being asked to provide.

⚠️ However, for many procedures, only the Certificate of Divorce is required if the marriage was registered in Puerto Rico.

👉 Before filling out the Evaluation Form, make sure you know exactly whether you are being asked to provide a certified judgment, a divorce certificate, or both documents.

Who can request a certified copy?

✅ It depends on the type of document and the applicable access rules.

🔒 In the case of confidential or restricted-access documents—such as certain family matters, cases involving minors, or divorce proceedings—only the parties involved, their heirs, authorized representatives, or a person with sufficient standing may request a copy.

📜 In the case of notarial documents or deeds, the request must usually be made by a party, an interested person, heir a person entitled to a copy, as applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Copies in Puerto Rico

 

1) Do I need to fill out the Evaluation Form before placing an order?

Yes. Before placing your order, you must complete the Evaluation Form and wait for our written confirmation that we can process the requested certified copy.

2) Is the evaluation free?

Yes. The initial evaluation is free and requires no obligation. We will respond in writing after reviewing the information provided on the Evaluation Form.

3) Does a certified copy always have physical stamps?

Not necessarily. Some certified copies include physical stamps affixed to the document, while others may include an equivalent official certification, especially when the document comes from official electronic systems.

4) What is the difference between a simple copy and a certified copy?

A simple copy is a reproduction without official certification. A certified copy includes a certification, stamps, or official verification confirming that it corresponds to the document on file in the relevant record, registry, protocol, or system.

5) Can I request a certified copy if I don't have the case number?

The case number helps locate the document, but it is not always essential. You should provide as much information as possible, such as the names of the parties, the approximate date, the court, the type of document, or any other required or available details. Before placing an order, you must complete the Evaluation Form and wait for our written confirmation.

    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.

  17. Rafael F. –

    Within the agreed timeframe

  18. Diana Frias- Vargas –

    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.
