Civil Status Records

Obtaining a certified copy of a civil status record or directly consulting the register by third parties may cause moral harm to the holder of the record or their legal beneficiaries. To address this, the legislator has defined the conditions for accessing civil status documents.

Access to Civil Status Documents

It is possible to obtain copies or extracts of the record, depending on the applicant's status.

Only the holder of the record, their direct ascendants or descendants, their spouse (if not divorced or legally separated), their guardian, or legal representative if the person is a minor or incapacitated, or the Public Prosecutor, may obtain a single certified copy or an extract of civil status records (birth, marriage, death). Judicial authorization is required for any other person.
