I'm not sure if this is the right section for this but i just have a quick question. I got married 13 months ago in Santo Domingo. I'm Canadian and my husband is Dominican. (living in Dominican still.) After we got married (the following day) we got our "Extracto De Acta" and our "Certificado de Matrimonio". So i came home to Canada, got the documents translated into English (by a certified translator) and went out and changed all of my id into my new married name. I have not done anything else with the marriage certificates. Is that all I need to do? Is it really that easy? I was speaking to someone in the Dominican Services office in Toronto and they said that i should get the marriage certificate "Legalized" but it's not mandatory. I was just wondering if anyone knows if i'm missing something. If i should be doing something more with my certficates. And, what is the point of getting the certificate legalized? what does that mean exactly??
Thanks so much for any info anyone may have!!!
