Birth certificates in the Dominican Republic

[Ssgtor 0]

Recently my husband's birth certificate was rejected. I realize the scan looked more like a copy than an original. I don't know if that's the only issue or if they want the "long" version instead. We submitted the "short version." Can someone who has had their documents accepted by NVC please weigh in, did you submit the long or short version and what was the result??

You need to make sure that you are submitting the ACTA INEXTENSA version. That is the only one they will accept.

This also applies to your marriage certificate. Just a heads up

Does anyone know if the birth certificates have to be translated as well? Can we translate the birth certificates ourselves or does it have to be certified?

No they don’t have to be translated.
