Birth certificate legalization no longer necessary
The Central Electoral Board (JCE), which is in charge of the civil registry in the Dominican Republic, has confirmed that citizens will soon no longer need to legalize civil registry documents. The JCE reports that as of tomorrow, Tuesday, 16 February 2016, civil registry documents no longer need to be legalized and can be requested at any civil registry office nationwide. In the past, the specific office where the documents were inscribed was the only office that could issue the documents.
As reported in Hoy yesterday, Sunday, 14 February 2016, document legalization fees used to bring in RD$350 million per year for the JCE.
As per the news item in dr1. Good thing you don't need to more than 1 office (or even more, if you're children were registered in different civil registry offices) for a valid birth certificate. For the last sentence of the news item. I have no doubt the price of the certificate will go up to compensate for the 200 pesos they won't be getting for legalization.
