The Central Electoral Board (Junta Central Electoral – JCE) announced that, beginning Tuesday, 1 July 2025, Resolution No. 09-2025 will take effect. This resolution introduces a standardized format for all civil registry certificates and adjusts the fees for various services offered by the institution, both in the Dominican Republic and abroad.
Key changes include the consolidation of certain service fees, streamlining of procedures, and a reduction in processing steps to improve public access and efficiency.
The JCE emphasized that civil registry certificates—whether extracts or full versions—that were issued before 1 July 2025, and contain a QR code will remain valid.
As of 1 July 2025, the civil registry certificates for birth, acknowledgment, marriage, divorce, and death will be issued in a single, unified format. The categories of “extract” and “full version” will be eliminated from these documents.
Along with the new format, a uniform fee of RD$600 will be applied to each type of civil certificate, regardless of the event being registered. This fee adjustment is part of the broader reform to modernize and simplify services.
