About this procedure
The certificate of live birth is the medical certificate (Ministry of Health form EV-25) signed by the physician who attended the birth at the hospital or health center, and it's the essential requirement to declare the birth: without it, the Registro Civil (Civil Registry: births, marriages, deaths) won't draw up the birth record. Most of the time the health center issues it automatically, but issues come up: home or out-of-hospital births, centers that didn't issue it correctly, or cases where it was lost or a duplicate is needed. That's where we help: we handle or guide you through getting the certificate of live birth for your case, including out-of-hospital births, where the law requires a sworn statement from whoever attended the birth plus additional documents. With that document in hand, you can move on to the birth certificate, a procedure we also handle for you.
