Tim-  The problem is that he is having problems getting an official birth certificate.  Regardless of the wrong birthdate on his id, they are saying his bc was lost and are now refusing to issue him a new one.

Go to Santo Domingo and get one. It doesn't matter what they lost in the mail. SDQ can give you as many of these as you want. I don't see what the issue is. I am sure his birth was registered in SDQ at some point.

-Tim

It's not that easy, something like this happened to my mom.  They told her the page in the book was torn and they had no clue where to get it. She had to go through a lot to get a cedula.

May they didn't even try this yet. We don't know what the story is. My guess is that in SDQ they can get a cert no problem.

Oh no then if they haven't tried SDQ its a must.  I think after a lot of foot work that is where my mom got it from because here in STI they had no trace of it.  But I do know it took her a very long time, so get moving.

My understanding of the OP is they went to both Santo Domingo and San Pedro and they both say they don't have it. They are pointing fingers and saying it was lost in transport to Santo Domingo.

We had a problem with my Step Daughters, they didn't have it in Santo Domingo and we had to go to Azua to get it, but they did have it in the book there, so they were able to give us a copy.

Back in September 2009 my fiance started working to get his birth certificate.  He tried to get it from an office in San Pedro but they told him he had to go to Santo Domingo.  He was sent back and forth a few times and then finally was told that it had been lost in transport between the two cities and that due to identity fraud he would have to find evidence of his birth and they would give him a new one.  He went to the hospital where his birth was reported, submitted school records and everything and they told him wait a few weeks and it would be ready.  Now his interview is March 3 and his birth certificate is still not ready.  How can he get a passport and id if they will not issue him a birth certificate?  He has an id currently, but of course the birthday on it is very wrong.  What to do?!?!

Thanks, tgood1, that is exactly what I said in the original post!  He has tried SDQ and they are refusing to issue it because they have no record of the original.  They are saying it must have gotten lost in transit between the two cities.  Now, after all this time, his mom is saying he was not born in San Pedro after all, so I think he is going to try to see if she registered his birth in THAT city and I pray he is able to get it there.

I wish I had seen this thread sooner! The guy has a Cedula correct? He had to have a Cedula to get a J.O.B. AND, he had to have a legalized copy of his BC to get a Cedula. This has worked the same for many, many, many years here in DR.

Here's the deal! Unless he is using a FAKE Cedula, ALL BC info is listed on the BACK of his Cedula under the Cedula Number.......unless the Cedula is not HIS. The libro, the folio, the number, the city station, EVERYTHING is listed right there. There is no "original copy" of BC's here in any registry, only the information about the birth listed in the books. From that, they MAKE a BC upon request. Let me say it again, there is NO SUCH THING as an "original copy" here in D.R. Every certificate you go get is an original...... strait from the book or the computer.

Do problems with BCs occur here? YES, of course. And I hate to say this, but he may very well be hiding something here. He knows where his BC is, and he knows how to get it...........he's done it before.......without question unless he is using an alies.

As far as passport goes, that can be gotten in one day in SDQ or STI using the VIP service but ONLY with a legalized copy of the BC and it costs about 1200 pesos extra to do it.

I hope I don't sound mean with what I've written here, it was in no way mean't to be mean........but the information given...........you can take it to the bank that it is correct.

If his cedula has a DOB on it then it was obtained from the BC as that is the only way that one is issued in DR

This is exactly what I said when she first posted .. you get a cedula with a BC .. your response has a lot more detail .. thanks

But just as I try to say the only way you get a cedula is with a BC

So somehow he had one before and they can get him a new one with the cedula

At this point who cares if it the wrong date .. I know maybe 1 or 2 people with the right date on their BC/Cedula

A wrong birth date wouldn't stop him from being able to get a BC printed and legalized for use though. Dominicans have to go get legalized copies of their BCs for EVERYTHING here, this is why the BC offices stay soooooo busy all day, every day. I've met one person in DR that has the exact correct birth date on his BC..............my step son! Except of course now....... after a zillion years............it's law that any child born (in a hospital anyway) MUST be declared before the child can leave the Hospital. Like I said.......somebody is playin a game..........I hope it isn't her SO, but my pointer sure is goi in that direction.

Yup, we're in the 2 birthday, grease gets the job done faster club. I can also attest to expedited passports, I know my hubby and son got theirs really quickly. Now that you know he was born somewhere else, maybe this can be cleared up quickly. But tell fiance to suck it up on the age until he's here at the very least, we had to change stuff on our docs after we filed because of some wrong info, and it took like 3-4 months for the info to get processed and corrected in the file.

So, I definitely do NOT understand all of this and I wish I could just shadow him to see what he is going through to get this done, but of course I can't.  But from what he has said and what you are saying, you are right.  He has gotten a BC before.  The last time was in 2007 when he applied for his current job. He had no problem that time, but since then, when he returned, they are saying that the book which held his certificate has been lost.  They can find him in the computer by his cedula number, just as you stated.  He says he has seen it for himself that they pull up all of his info based on his id number, but for some reason he is being given the run around when it comes to actually getting the hard copy in his hand.  He says they tell him that it is due to id fraud with Haitians being issued fake Dominican ids.  My guess is that as BanginMa stated he was not talking to the right people.  We'll see what happens now, because he feels like crap now because he saw me trying (unsuccessfully) to hold back tears when the guy said we'd have to return when he actually had the passport available.  The crazy thing is he was able to get the bc for his daughter in a day or two.

Ok, so they can see his info in the computer.........thats ALL they need to print a BC. The problem is, the picture THEY have of him does not match HIM. So, who is the fraud?

[TuBabyTierna]

Is this Big papi's brother???

Maybe his BC is in Haiti like BPs... He lied all along that he was Dominican to his fiancee and they had to transfer his case...

I don't think that is the problem.  Not that I am so snowed that I think he is incapable of lying, but I'm pretty sure he said it is his picture and everything.  When I asked him what you said about using the info on the back of his id to print the bc, he said, "but remember, the year..."  It sounds like while I thought he was not going to try to change everything to the true birthday, he decided to try to change it after all.

Negroni ..

They are not going to give him a BC with the date he wants on it .. they will issue it with what is in the books .. plain and simple

If all this time he is trying to get them to change it and issue it .. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ..

He has to forget about the year and just get the BC ..

IF what he is saying is true that the info IS IN the computer and IT IS his picture then he can just get the BC the way it is ..

It can take months, years to change this that is why everyone just keeps whatever is on the BC instead of changing it
