Right now as I look at it there is the one official stamp on the front of the clearance and 5 stamps on the back with signatures and dates. This was all done in Santo Domingo.

My husband said we also had to do the same with our Marriage certificate and so we got that done too and that has 4 stamps on the back all signed and dated.

Did anyone else get all those stamps??

I also have four stamps on my marriage certificate, but they are in the front of the certificate. Not sure with the police clearance, my husband just went and redid it.

I believe the stamps are to register the marriage in the books in Dominican Republic so they have a record that it did take place. Also When you come back to your country and you want to make it legal and change your name. I hope I'm right!! Correct me if I'm wrong.
