Attention to Anyone Born in Puerto Rico: Puerto Rico’s New Birth Certificate Law - The government of Puerto Rico has enacted a new law aimed at strengthening the issuance and usage of birth certificates in order to combat fraud and protect the identity and credit of all people born in Puerto Rico. Effective July 1, 2010: all Puerto Rico birth certificates issued before this date will be invalidated. This will be done so that new, more secure certificates can be issued.
As of July 1, 2010 it will be necessary for all citizens born in Puerto Rico to be issued a new official birth certificate. Citizens living in the states will be able to request and receive their new birth certificates through a simple mail process. People that have an immediate need (i.e., request for a passport, or other official purpose) should submit their request as soon as possible.
