To search for a marriage certificate in the Dominican Republic without a copy of the certificate or without knowledge of the appropriate jurisdiction and the date of the marriage is not an easy proposition. The problem is that there are no central records. There are more than 100 local "oficialías" (civil registry offices) in the Dominican Republic where marriages are recorded, depending where the marriage took place. It is essential, therefore, to know where exactly in the Dominican Republic you were married. If it was in the city of Santo Domingo, the search could be narrowed down to about 15 offices.
