How to obtain your Birth Certificate with Opapeleo?

What if I do not have a copy of the original Birth Certificate?
In that case, you should provide us with:
- Full name – as stated on identity card and passport.
- Date and place of birth.
- Volume and folio (if available)
- Parents’ full names.
- Names of grandparents’ (from mother’s side and father’s side).
Once the information is available, Opapeleo will verify whether the process can proceed without difficulties, as some entities have changed modalities of operation or have become inactive due to the pandemic.
If any additional legalisation is required at the Cuban MinRex or any other Cuban diplomatic institution, additional costs and a longer processing time are involved. For any further information, please contact us directly.
