Certified Digital Birth Certificate: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain an official digital copy of your birth certificate online and what to do if your record is missing from the system.
This scheme allows you to obtain an official, certified digital copy of your birth certificate through a national system.
Who it's for
This is available to anyone who is already registered in the national database.
What you get
You receive an official copy of your birth certificate (known locally as an acta certificada or copia de acta) in a digital format.
What it costs you
There is a small fee to process the request, which you pay online. Once the payment is complete, you can download your document immediately.
The catch to know
The digital system only works if your information is already recorded in the national database. If your record is not appearing in the system, you cannot fix this online; you must visit the Civil Registry in the specific state where you were born.
How to apply
- Visit the official government portal.
- Enter the required personal details to locate your record.
- Pay the required fee through the online payment system.
- Download and save your official digital document.
