You'll probably need to find out exactly where they got married & go to that place & ask for a copy.

For example, I got married in Licey al Medio. If I wanted a copy, I would have to return to Licey al Medio, to the judge that married us and ask for a copy.

To my knowledge, there is no centralized "database" of marriage, birth/death, baptism, etc licenses in the country. Each municipality keeps its own records. Titles for land is a different story, however.

That is what I understand. If anyone else knows differently, please correct me.

You will have to go to the city hall of the area that has authority over where they were married. Sosua city hall for marriages in Cabarete, for example.

Actually that is not correct. You have to go to the Oficialía de Estado Civil to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate. It is also MOST helpful to have the book number and page number on which the marriage was recorded. Additionally, civil marriages are recorded in a different location from church ones - so you have to go the the CORRECT Oficialía office as well.

In Puerto Plata, for example, civil marriages (and divorces) are recorded in the Primera Circunscripción on Beller. Canonical marriages are recorded in the Segunda Circunscripción on Doce de Julio.

I wonder why we have to go to the City Hall in Sosua when we need a copy of our marriage certificate?

I am guessing because the office needed just happens to be in the City Hall in Sosua for civil marriage filings.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if the offices you mentioned are open to the public... to have access to civil status information on a citizen?

I need to find out the civil status of a Puerto Plata resident...
How do you think I should go about it, and do you know if is it possible for me to obtain this information over the phone? Would you be kind enough to forward me the telephone numbers of these offices?
Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Great thanks!!
