What do you need before you start?

The document owner's name, sex, civil status, birth date and both parents' names.
The record details as written on the original: place of birth, marriage or death, and the date.
For a marriage certificate: both spouses' names and the date and place of marriage.
Your delivery address, mobile number and email.
A valid ID for the person who will receive the delivery.

If the birth, marriage or death happened only weeks ago, wait. PSA says it can take several months before a record reaches its database, and an early request usually ends in a Negative Certification.
