DEATH CERTIFICATE · COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a death certificate apostille be used for an overseas estate matter?+
It may form part of the requested paperwork. Ask the organization handling the estate which record and authentication it requires; our review concerns preparation and coordination for that document.
Do several recipients need several certificates?+
Ask each recipient whether it retains the original completed document or accepts another format. We can then review the number of documents you actually need to process.
Can the apostille service arrange transportation of remains?+
No. This service concerns the certificate and its authentication. Transportation and any associated permits must be arranged separately.
Where can I look for a new Puerto Rico death certificate?+
The Department of Health provides vital-record request information. Confirm eligibility, identification and the required certificate version with the issuing office.
How are processing time and cost confirmed?+
Tell us your deadline, document count and delivery needs. We provide an estimate after reviewing the case. Preparation, authority processing and shipping affect timing; Express or Priority availability must be confirmed. Ask which service charges, government charges and delivery costs are included.
