Are you planning to get married in Cuba?

Do you need to certify and legalize your birth certificate, single status affidavit, and a divorce decree?

Certifying and legalizing documents for Cuba is a three step process.  Your documents will require State certification, US Department of State certification, and Embassy legalization.  For example, if your birth certificate originates from the State of Florida, your document will require Florida Secretary of State certification, Washington DC US Department of State certification, and Cuba Embassy legalization.

For instructions on how to obtain a single status, click the following link: Single Status Affidavit

A certified copy of your birth certificate can be issued by the County Clerk or State Registrar.  A certified copy of the divorce decree can be obtained through the Superior Court (Family Court).

Here is an illustration to help explain the process:

The Cuban Embassy requests that all documents include a certified Spanish translation to accompany your documents.  The translation needs to be performed by a certified translator and the translator’s signature needs to be signed and notarized.  You can find a certified translator by contacting the American Translator’s Association.

Currently, the Cuban Embassy charges $300 for every document legalized through the Embassy.  If you need your birth certificate and single status certified and legalized, the Embassy will charge $600 to process these two documents.  Also, you will need to include a USPS money order payable to the ‘Embassy of the Republic of Cuba’.  Please contact us for the most up to date cost in processing your documents.  The Embassy may change their prices at any time.

Legalizing documents for Cuba can be complicated and time-consuming. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the legalization process and the unique requirements of this country. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
