Cuban Birth Certificate: Obtaining, Legalization and International Delivery
We obtain your birth certificate from any Civil Registry in Cuba, legalize it and send it wherever you are.
Which procedures do you need this document for?
The birth certificate is the foundation document for most legal procedures abroad. With Cuba Legal Services you can submit it with complete confidence for:
- ·Spanish citizenship applications (including the Democratic Memory Law, known as the "Grandchildren's Law").
- ·Arraigo, residence or immigration regularization procedures.
- ·Getting married abroad.
- ·Registering children and family reunification procedures.
Our step-by-step process: we handle everything
For complete peace of mind, we manage the process from start to finish, with no need for you to travel or ask favours in Cuba:
Search and Retrieval
We locate your birth entry in the relevant Civil Registry in Cuba, with or without the Volume and Page details.
Legalization at MINJUS
We arrange official legalization at the Cuban Ministry of Justice so the document is valid internationally.
Apostille / Consular Legalization
We handle recognition at the Spanish Consulate in Havana (or the consulate of the country where you will submit the document).
Secure Delivery
We send the physical document by international courier (DHL / Correos Express) straight to your address, with a tracking number.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Cuban birth certificate
What if I do not have the Volume and Page?
Do not worry. If you do not have those details, our team in Cuba can search the archives using the full names, date and place of birth.
How long is this document valid for?
Cuban birth certificates do not expire for citizenship procedures, although recent legalization is always recommended, ideally less than two years old.
What usually goes wrong when you do it alone
The costliest mistake is not being slow, it is submitting a document the receiving body will not accept. A certificate without MINJUS legalization, or without the apostille required by the country where you will use it, is rejected and the procedure goes back to square one. The same happens when the recipient requires a sealed envelope and it arrives opened. These errors only surface once the file has already been submitted, and fixing them from outside Cuba takes weeks.
